JM, that’s John McCluskey, sent along these photos yesterday. I’d planned on doing that same trip yesterday, but time got away from me and today it’s rainy and darker!
This shot greatly resembles one of the first set of photos I ever posted on a blog, my very first post. You can see it here.
Alice and two Oldendorff siblings have been sold to Algoma; hence the name change to Algoma Verity.
As John passed the shipyard in the old Brooklyn Navy yard, he also got photos of some of the other vessels there, like R/V Shearwater and in the graving dock behind her, Cape Avinoff.
Waiting her turn in the graving dock is Cape Ann.
Many thanks to John McCluskey for sharing these photos of a short stretch of his float-by on the East River.

I’m inclined to think those two CAPES have been sold to breakers in Brownsville and are having the local sea life removed from their hulls so they can be towed to the Gulf without introducing a new source of invasive species to the area.

I could not believe this news re Verity (I can hardly say it). She will always be Alice to me! ♥️. Hope some day to get to see her siblings. They look awesome.
Amazing that that was your first post all those years ago?!
