Wow! August almost passed us by without my doing a glance back to a decade ago. McCrews is now in Philly I’m told. Reliance and Justine are still with McAllister. Lynx was sold foreign and experienced an incident while being delivered, although I’m not sure how that turned out. Barents and Yankee both were refurbished by Donjon: Barents Sea is now Atlantic Enterprise and Yankee is now Signet Atlantic and sans upper wheelhouse. Mark McAllister was scrapped, and Na-Hoku under the same name works for a company based in Charleston SC.
Ellen McAllister here was bringing in the future Alex McAllister, which has gone on to spend a lot of time working in the sixth boro, although I’ve not noticed her recently.
Patrice (had just had a tragic delivery fire in this photo) and Bruce still work based out of the sixth boro.
I never did see Yankee after her upper wheelhouse was removed. I may have to return to the GOM if I ever want to see her.
Duty is now Nydia P, and I’d have to go to Puerto Rico to see her.
Ireland became Hoppiness, and has been converted to a liveaboard on Lake Ontario but headed the inland waterways of the TVA system.
Labrador Sea is now Vane’s Brooklyn.
And finally, here’s a mixed set: OSG 350 and OSG Vision still work under those names, Amy Moran became Stasinos John Joseph, and Scotty Sky became a snow bird and sails the Caribbean.
All August 2012, WVD, who after reflecting on all those changes admits to not being the same person as in August 2012 any more either.
