With momentum gaining for more offshore wind farms, a raft of seldom-seen type vessels make port calls in the sixth boro. This photo from Tony Acabono is an excellent example: Geosea is not new, but she’s surely exotic.
Another from Tony, Berto L. Miller is new in town, joining two other Miller OSVs sometimes here, Rana and Josephine K.
And yet another set from Tony . . . recognize this vessel?
Look at the design on the stack . .. .
It’s the return of Bear, as I first knew her, although she’s also been Catherine M. Brown and Elizabeth Anna.
And finally . . . here’s a photo of a vessel--Lois Ann L. Moran and barge Philadelphia–as seen from the “vessel,” the whatever-it-is in Hudson Yards. Those are LIRR trains in the foreground. Thanks to my sister for this photo.
Thanks to Tony and my sister for these photos. No photos here by Will Van Dorp, who is again off across the border.

BERTO L MILLER has belonged to Miller’s launch since 2011. She’s just returned to the East Coast, after a long-term contract of providing “Yokohama” fenders out to ULCC tankers lightering offshore from the Southern California Coast. She is the former JUSTIN CALLAIS of 1999, so it’s interesting that the vessel outbidding her for the fender job was a sister ship, the BEN CHERAMIE, originally NOAH J CALLAIS of 2003.
