Anyone know the story of this lobster tug over at Pier 81 Hudson River? Its current name?
Discovery Coast was standing by a tank barge at Pier 8 Red Hook.
Next pier south, Pier 9, Evening Tide hibernates. I guess it’s not true that all parts of “time and tide wait for no one.”
Continuing in that direction to the south of Erie Basin, a Dann Ocean fleet waits: l to r, Captain Willie Landers, Sarah Dann, and Ruby M.
In the anchorage, Susan Rose awaits her next appointment with the RCM 250.
Fells Point heads to the Narrows to retrieve her bunker barge.
Bruce A. McAllister escorts bulker Thor Fortune into Claremont for a load of scrap.
And finally, Everly Mist is the newest renaming I’ve seen. Ellen S. Bouchard has also been renamed Jeffrey S, but I’ve not caught a photo yet.
All photos, WVD.

Discovery Coast looks like a pagoda.

The “Lobster Boat” is probably a post-war Army 45-foot tug, although possibly one of the duplicate commercial units built by Equitable Equipment Co. I’ll be interested if a name or identity ever comes to light; she’s not one I know.

Believe the tug is (or was) Mako III, built 1952 at Roamer Boat. ON 1233562 ; seems like it was a 45 foot Navy tug, and was at Pier 83. At least, seems to match pictures of it, though repainted. http://www.tugboatlars.se/MakoIII.htm

Thx, Carl– Ah! That’s it. I did get a photo of Mako III myself a few years back there: https://tugster.wordpress.com/tag/mako-iii-lil-toot/. Again, thx.
