Winter dawns and dusks can be the best, like this one creating golden water for Miss New York.

The 2000 Brooklyn had Vane livery then.

Haggerty Girls, attached here to RTC 60 and with Grace D alongside, was likely the newest tugboat in the Reinauer fleet.  Note the bulbous domes of Ellis Island to the right.

The 2006 Manson dredge Glenn Edwards was in town.  Currently, it’s in Florida.

Wittich Marine’s 1977 Iron Mike ranged the boro now and again.  I’m not sure if this boat is still around.

Brendan would have about a decade of work ahead of it yet.

The 2012 Evening Star and B. No. 250 made their way east.  Star is now Rose, Jordan Rose.  In the distance, that’s a Genesis Marine unit.

Then, as is still the case, the 1951 Twin Tube was the boro’s premiere delivery service.

Meagan McAllister still had the red/white striped stacks.  Currently she’s Charles James.

And some waterways in the boro could be as congested as the roadways around the watery boro.  Note three tugboats with Cheyenne to the left, Kimberly Turecamo forward, and Gramma Lee T assisting in Four Sky.

Laura K heads out for the next assist while Robert E. works another vessel to its berth.  Mare Pacific and another tanker line up along the opposite shore.
