Today will be a two-post day. Here’s the first one, and it follows on this May update. These photos come thanks to Kevin Oldenburg. The next post will come in an hour.
She was headed up to Feeney’s Shipyard in the Rondout for a continuation of the conversion from oil spill response vessel to pilot boat mother ship. Atone point, she was identical to New Jersey Responder or Deep Blue Responder.
Unlike her move back in May, only a few miles, this time she traveled under her own power. And travel she did . . . . 13 knots worth.
Hat tip to Kevin. Previous photos attributed to Kevin can be found here.

Thanks so much for this post. It set to thinking of the chest I did with pilot boat 5 on it years ago. It sold to a pair of Boston Harbor pilots who were gifting it to a retiring colleague. I took the liberty of adding a link to this post so people could see how much things have changed. https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/86709250/posts/2868229931

Anyone know what the fates will be of the current New York and the New Jersey once this vessel comes online?
