On January 10 Emily Ann was moving crane barge eastbound in the Kills.
Columbia New York has lift capacity of 400 tons.
Any time I see Emily Ann, I think of a story shared here by a reader about her role in saving lives in the Florida Strait.
A reliable source tells me that even juvenile loons know this story, although they’ve not yet seen a crane like this.

It is required by sea law, but being able to assist anyone in distress is a privilege and satisfying even though it may often be at great inconvenience to oneself. Long may it so continue.
