Let’s start with a photo by John “Jed” Jedrlinic, one of Alp Forward, currently off the eastern Scottish coast. She’s a 213′ x 61′ anchor handling tug from 2007 with over 200 tons bollard pull.
From there, let’s go to the Connecticut in US coast and some local boats with
some Seakite by PanGeo Subsea gear aboard. I’d love to see what this package projects onto a screen.
Both Berto L. and Josephine K Miller were up at Lew’s port earlier this spring.
GO Pursuit, fleet mate of GO America, called in there also. “GO” expands to Guice Offshore.
The reminder of photos here come in the past days from Tony A, starting here with Deborah Quinn.
He caught her several times in the East River, and here
with an unidentified covered barge. In the photo above, the Taco Cina sign intrigues me.
In roughly the same stretch he passed Brinn Courtney, whom I’ve yet to see.
And finally, he noticed Nicholas Vinik doing the do si do with Sea Monster, moving her over near the Sandy Hook Pilots station. I’m not sure what that means about Sea Monster. Anyone know?
Many thanks to Jed, Lew, and Tony A for sending along these photos.
Meanwhile, the robots are still doing their unmonitored best at tugster tower while WVD is in the lowland of alligators, shrimp, sugar, fleur de lis and beaucoup de plus for an unspecified time.

This post from you and your friends really help one to get around, to “see the world” or at least the Sixth Boro. Thanks

Thx, agnes. And given that I’m not even in the sixth boro for a while myself, I’m very grateful when folks send me photos. And the robots . . . i.e., the magic of the internet . . . can enhance our understanding of developments in our fair harbor.

Will, the photo of three tugs (well, two plus a launch) reminds me of your photo of two McAllister tugs and WO Decker on the cover of my book TUGBOATS ILLUSTRATED, 2016.

Thx, Paul– I had not put that resemblance together, but you’re right. Thanks for pointing that out.
