Newest Hull in the Sixth Boro 4

Superlatives, like newest, biggest, worst, most sophisticated . . . , will always be temporary designations.  Not long ago, Cape Henry held the distinction of newest tugboat in the boro, but since then, another has arrived.  And in our temporal world, the future will bring another with that uniqueness . . .

Evening Breeze came out of the shipyard in March, so for now, Breeze is probably it.  She’s already appeared here, although it was not a close-up.

Safe and profitable journeys!

The Welland Canal presents a top hat to the captain of the first vessel to transit each year;  ditto the port of Montreal presents a gold-headed cane to the captain of the first saltie arriving at the port each new year.  It seems the sixth boro is a bit parsimonious in ceremony.  And that begs the question, who superintends ceremony in the sixth boro?
