Here are previous posts in the series.
Look closely at the image of William F. Fallon Jr. below; something is unusual there.
Note that Bluefin below is juxtaposed with the Whale on shore. The Whale might be an interesting location to visit someday.
Bayonne Drydock has Schuylkill high and dry and Go Discovery along the bulkhead.
Hull design and bridge configuration are unusual. Who designed this vessel?
Big rocks
await some jetty project, I suppose. Anyone know where?
See the difference in ladder configuration between Charleston and
Jacksonville? Both boats are Elizabeth Anne class boats, so why the difference in ladders?
Since 2014, October has been breast cancer awareness month, a tradition begun by Moran.
Other companies like Kirby and Bouchard joined in previous years as well.
This year so far, Stasinos is the only other company I’ve seen mark awareness of the disease this year. Have I missed anyone?
Finally, getting back to the Fallon photo that led off this post. Fallon is a pin boat, and yet, she’s attached to the barge Long Island with push gear. Does this combination really operate this way? I’m just curious.
All photos and questions, any errors, WVD.

It may be the former Moran barge Long Island. She was always a towed barge, not built for Intercon

Charleston has a gangway, the new gold standard in crew transfer safety. The barge they use most likely has an appropriate platform to receive the gangway.
