Here was the first redux for the Delaware.

Handy Three appeared on this blog almost a decade ago in a different livery and in a different port.

Of course, she’s been a Moran tugboat for a half dozen years already.

 In the background above, that’s the 1968-commissioned, 2007-decommissioned USS John F. Kennedy.

 

Several hundred yards away from Handy Three, Hunter D.   I’d never seen this boat previously although for some time a few years ago I’d see her AIS “ghost signals” all over the sixth boro.

She’s still in Harley livery even though on paper she wears a lion.
