A new tug in town . . . Osprey? Built in 1961, she’s a sibling of Kodi. Photo thanks to Tony A.

B & B . . . it’s Brendan Turecamo in the distance and Bruce A McAllister. It turns out they are not clones: Brendan is a year newer, and Bruce A. is few feet longer and packs a few more horses.

Curis Reinauer is the third tug to carry that name. This Curtis dates from 2013. The previous one was sold to Nigeria, and the one before that has been reefed.

Emily Ann dates from 1964; she appeared on this blog just a few weeks ago but out of the water then.

Mister Jim, 1982, has been in the sixth boro for about eight years.

Doris Moran, also 1982, is a powerhouse.

Navigator, 1981, is the only boat currently operated by Balico Marine Services.

Gulf Coast, 1982, got her upper wheelhouse up at Feeney‘s on the Rondout.

Patrice, 1999, has so far spent half its life working on the Great Lakes.

Shannon McAllister is a rare one in the sixth boro, but she passes through here once in a while. like this week. She dates from 1991.

Thx to Tony for that first photo; all others, WVD.

Who built the tug Osprey for it is not a Gladding Hearn built vessel. On the other hand the little Kodi was built by Gladding Hearn with Gladding Hearns well known quality and engineering skill.

Most likely St. Charles Steel Works, in Thibodeaux LA, but I can’t prove it . . .
