To follow up on my “inconsistent post-entitling” comment from yesterday, this could be Tony A 31, at least, given all his previous contributions here under a variety of noms de keyboard.
For starters, here’s another closeup of Highland Eagle. Last summer the boat was contracted to survey an area near the Straits of Mackinac for a controversial tunnel project, a pipeline tunnel. Currently it’s working for the Sunrise Wind project.
Tony also sends along the closest up photo I’ve yet seen of Kodi, at 43′ loa on the smaller size of tugs in the sixth boro, its tall upper wheelhouse notwithstanding.
Thanks, Tony.

Tony’s my new hero. Hughes 660 (ON 1122658) is the former U.S. Army barge BC 6160, sold surplus in 1995. This class, called Army design 7005, somewhat duplicates the hundreds of Navy YC’s, but is plated differently and has two feet less beam.

Oh boy, and I was looking at that barge, and even forgot to note it in the tags. I’ll have to remedy that now.

The tug Kodi is a 45 foot Gladding-Hearn built tug. The tug has a single screw GM 12-71 365 hp and a single Lister air cooled generator. The current owner is the third owner who added the fiberglass upper wheelhouse. The writer was onboard this tug in 1973/1974 while it was being built.
