Substantial intrigued me not only because of the name, the A-frame, but also the day shape that could be seen although I think it was not being displayed. A day shape with two black balls and a black diamond in between means “while working, restricted in ability to maneuver.” Substantial is a made-over yacht, now used as a day-ops survey vessel.
Suzanne McAllister has been at Bayonne for some time now for a make-over; the name is not yet displayed. Here’s how she looked 10 weeks ago.
Any guesses what relatively smaller scale McAllister tugboat is off her port side?
I count at least seven workers in the photo of the substantial Suzanne below. Given all that gray primer, I suspect the red paint will be opened up fairly soon. Beyond and in green, that’s MV Don Pasquale. I wonder how many millions of cars and trucks she’s transported in her lifetime!?!
It’s good to see a drill/test run of one of Marchi‘s rescue boats.
That name seems more suited to a starship?
The anchorage was busy the other day.
Any guesses on Alexia?
All photos, any errors, WVD.
My guess for the McAllister tugboat next to Suzanne is Ellen McAllister. And Alexia, I believe, is a transAtlantic rowboat.
