Here’s a good view of the props on a z-drive boat. The 8.5′ props are part of the Schottel SRP 1515 FP drive system. Note the port-a-potty between the stacks, a dry-dock worker convenience?
The scale of the cranes at Howland Hook belies the fact that Jay Michael and Bosco, passing Shooters Island, are still at least a mile closer to the lens than HH port.
In different light, here’s a Bosco closeup.
James E. Brown before dawn; the structure like a lighthouse beyond JEB‘s stern is the control tower at Newark Airport, which celebrates its 90th anniversary this coming October.
The Statue salutes Little C. I’ve often tried for a photo that suggests the Statue’s eyes are fixed on something in the foreground, and I’d say here Little C has helped me make that happen.
Barge John Blanche is returned homeward through Hell Gate by Diane B.
OK . . . Is it Joan or Doris?
I’ll stop here. All photos by Will Van Dorp.

(Doris’s tower is tubular, not an erector set.)

port-a-potty : new word for my culture. Then I’m surprised on Jonathan C Moran with the two same propellers – both are right turning propellers – cheaper choice but less manoeuvrable

Aha, thats how a well used Schottel –propeller looks like… Schottel is a really small shipyard, some kilometers up the Rhine in an also truly small village. Until 2012 that place hosted not only the headquarter of Schottel, but also a lot of its production facilities. Last summer it took me just 90 seconds to bypass the residence of that global group on bike – Wikipedia shows the whole place in this picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schottel_(company).

Schottel drives and good rieslings come from that village? I’d love to bicycle through there some day . . .
