Here was an unusual pair . . . within an hour of each other; Thor Confidence arrived,
escorted by Justine McAllister and
Capt. Brian A. . . .
and a bit later, a very light Thor Courage, escorted by Ava M. McAllister,
headed out for sea.
Built in 2009 and 2008, respectively, the two mostly identical 59000 dwt bulkers are part of the 20-vessel Thoresen fleet.
All photos, WVD, who may be miss a few days of posting . . . .

Hi,
I recently joined a FB group called “Great Lakes Ship Watchers”, although I live in Philadelphia. I love this site, but I am wondering if there is a similar FB group for either the Atlantic Coast, or the NY Harbor, or the KVK, etc. Do you know?

Hi Beverly- Well, as you know, tugster posts on the KVK over 330 times a year right here. I know because I do tugster and always post on FB too. There is Tug & Ship Spotting; New York Harbor region on FB. Also, “the boats of New York harbor”. Farther south, there’s “Baltimore and Chesapeake Bay Maritime Group”. I hope that helps.
