Here’s a shot of a 1962 tug named Kristy Ann Reinauer I took in August 2008 near Howland Hook/Elizabethport
and another in Bayonne in December of that year.
By August 2015, she was waiting to be scrapped.
In late March the 2018 Kristy Ann anchored in the Upper Bay with her barge.
I can’t make out the barge name.
Here’s Kristy Ann light, just leaving the fuel dock.
The new tug is rated at 4560hp and the hull is 110′ x 33.’
Her twin, Josephine, I’ve yet to see close up.

The new tug is definitely a purpose built ugly duckling!

Great post. Two tugs like night and day.

The old Kristy’s electronics and search lights were donated to the Sea Dart, a Sea Scout boat in the Rahway River (www.ship228.com). One of her search lights lives on aboard the Mary Whalen.
