i.e., the 19th month in a row that I’ve posted photos from exactly 120 months before. Well, although it’s not always this hazy, the Statue still looks the same, but
Responder no longer carries that boom or works in the sixth boro, and neither that bridge nor Coho looks the same.
Coral Sea Queen has been reconfigured into a trillion recombined molecules, and
June K is no longer orange.
That part of the skyline is the same–maybe–but Lil Rip has not been in this harbor in quite a while.
This Rosemary is no longer here nor painted this way, and
John Reinauer . . . I’d love to see her since she transited the Atlantic to work in the Gulf of Guinea.
Flinterborg released these Dutch sailing barges in the waterways of another continent . . . and Flinterborg has not returned that I know of.
Penn No. 4 is laid up, I think. Does no one use the term “mothballed” any more? I’ve never mothballed clothes, for what that’s worth.
Laura K Moran works in Savannah, with occasional TDY in other ports, I’ve noticed..
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who himself is no longer the same person he was in October 2009.

One small oops, Will: The elderly tanker is CORAL QUEEN, built by Bethlehem Elizabeth in 1920. I sure do enjoy these peeks into the rear-view bridge window.

Thx, George, for keeping me accurate. My eyesight is fine, so it must be my brain that’s failing . . . Glad you enjoy these.

Wil, Penn # 4 was sold last year by Kirby, to Curtin Maratime
of Long Beach, Cal. She is a great boat too, good power and rode nice off shore…even has a elevator that goes up to the upper house. Shame that Kirby laid up or got rid of most of the Penn northern fleet.
