This is an unexpected post, but I watched a movie the other day that involved D.S. 78 barge moving garbage away from a marine transfer station
somewhere in Manhattan. John J. Harvey shows up in the movie. And the crewman above, would he be crew or an actor?
And here’s the tug. Likely someone seeing this can identify it, but I can’t. Anyone help? And which transfer station would this be, given the docks and other structures on the other shore? My guess is north of the current passenger terminal, and that’s a maritime Hoboken on the other side.
And which movie was this?
Here’s your last chance to guess. The biggest clue you’re getting here is garbage and mention multiple times of black-n-white glossy photos, unlike these.
The movie involved some young people getting arrested for dumping garbage in the wrong place.
Got it?
Alice’s Restaurant! You can spend two hours watching the whole movie, or zoom to about an hour and twelve minutes in and you’ll see the scene.

My guess: the old Marion Moran.

And they were eight-by-ten -color- glossies! The circles and arrows and the paragraphs on the back were no doubt black-and-white…
