Frances heads out to earn some money on a rainy yesterday morning. I’ve no idea what that red glow behind the Statue is.
Lincoln Sea has worked on both coasts since I’ve been doing this blog, and like Frances, has kept the same name. Click here to see her in my second ever blog post . . . 2006.
Michael Miller here moves equipment to and from islands in the boro’s archipelago. I first saw this vessel as Stapleton Service.
Annie G II goes way back on this blog too. Recently she’s been doing a job over west of the Staten Island Ferry racks, a job she was the perfect size for. She’s a WGI tug.
Jane A. Bouchard was out along the east side of Staten Island, passing the old US Marine Hospital. See it here if you scroll way through.
Ellen McAllister was heading out for a call. I likely first posted a photo of her here.
In that photo earlier, Jane was headed to meet up with Evening Star and her barge.
James E. Brown and Thomas J. Brown tag teamed car float NYNJR 200, the newest and largest car float in the sixth boro.
Ditto, CMT Pike and Helen Laraway meet up on a set of scows.
And to close this out, it’s Austin Reinauer, Boston-bound in the rain.

The Lincoln Sea has not kept the same name, originally named Mohawk, built for Mobil Oil, when Exxon merged with Mobil, it was named the Sea River Everett

Arthur– you are right, but what I meant was that since I first saw that tug, she’s always been called Lincoln Sea. I realize her history predates my paying attention. I should have been clearer.
Here’s a question in return: is there a body of water called Lincoln Sea, and if so, which Lincoln would it have been named for? Answer(s) later.

That’s an easy one, (thanks to the internet) Lincoln Sea, about 3000 miles north northeast of NYC, the northernmost area of Greenland (Denmark) named (~1884) by arctic explorer Adolphus Greely, for the then Secretary of War Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abe and Mary,

Thank You, Although many suggest i am an expert, my true expertise is Marine Engineering. I dabble in the nautical sciences just to “mess” and confuse deckies. This is my quest in life, “mess” with a deckie.
FYI, I don’t have “Captain” painted on my mailbox.
Kudos to your work, and dedication
