Following from yesterday, which covered 0900 to 0930, today we pick up from the mystery vessel and do 0930 to 1000. Identify this blue ship?
Here’s a clue and a hint that traffic is busy, as another vessel comes around Bergen Point.
As MSC Bilbao clears the bridge, you get a sense of all the boats over on the NW side of Staten Island. Anyone know the passenger vessel at the shipyard to the left? I don’t.
As MSC Bilbao approaches from the west and Adams heads out to sea, a RORO arrives.
The random curves of waves and reflections seem just perfect as a vessel named Bilbao passes by.

Kimberly has released the line to Bilbao and is about to rotate to starboard and head back west.

Interesting to see a bollard mounted low in the side of a hull: a reflection of the great size of modern ships ?.
Previously bollards fore and aft with maybe some amidships at deck level were deemed sufficient.
Also I find interesting the great variety in the shapes of current ships.
Gone are the days when one could tell a ship’s business from her shape.
But my time was 50-60 years ago.
