We alternate back to Albert Gayer (1897-1976) tomorrow, but to maintain connection with the contemporary sixth boro, especially in the cold, crisp January light, enjoy these five varied boats from this past week. Name the one below?
Pelham, of course. The mighty Pelham was launched in 1960, loa is 80.4′, and has 3000 hp.
Who was rotating Marjorie K?
On the bow was Miriam Moran, 1979, 99′ loa, and also 3000 hp.
Name that boat?
Harry Mcneal is a busy boat launched in 1965, 53.3 loa, and 800 hp.
Which boat is this crewman on the bow of?
It’s the robust Rae, launched 1952, 46′ loa, and packing 450 hp.
And this one?
It’s the unmistakable Charles James, which started as a GLDD tug in 1985, 77′ loa, and 2400 hp.
