Ever F Class 3
The erudite readers of tugster know Evergreen doesn’t have a single vessel, the one that caused some anxiety in Suez recently. In fact, the fleet comprises about 200 ships, of different sizes or classes. The L and F classes currently call in the sixth boro. The teu capacity for the F class is just over […]
Ever F Class 2
Installment 1 was here. Guess the loa, breadth, and teu? So far, I’ve seen Ever Focus and Ever Forward . . . although it appears I’ve not posted my Ever Forward photos. I do that sometimes by chance. So Ever Fortune . . . entered service in November 2020. It’s one of the newest vessels […]
Ever F Class
When I started this blog, Evergreen presented itself in the sixth boro with their D class. Then they added size and capacity with their L class. Today for the first time, I saw an F class, Ever Focus. I can imagine subsequent ships called Faith, Fruitful, Frugal, Friendly . . . really I’m just guessing. […]
Random Ships 103
The sixth boro always provides lots to look at and wonder about. USNS Watson and Regulus, both are getting some service at Bayonne dry dock. Heroic Leader, 7500-car capacity, departs with “who-knows-what” in her hold. She’s currently approaching the Panama Canal Ever Front arrived soon after Ever Fame had departed. There are a total of […]
Random ULCVs 14
Technological marvel and global supply chains spawned by the deindustrialization of this country go hand in hand with these huge vessels. CMA CGM J. Adams comes in with +14,000 teu, a peak capacity reached in August 2017 when her sister vessel T. Roosevelt arrived first. That’s 1202′ x 166′ and running deep. Tokyo Triumph comes […]
Morning 2022
Consider this to be in the spirit of Dawn 2021. I wasn’t there at dawn because the ship I wanted to catch–CMA CGM Von Humboldt–departed in the 0’darks, but I arrived a bit later, cold notwithstanding. The first tugboat I photographed in 2022 was Zeus! Truth be told, her profile against the Raritan highlands was […]
1989 Postcard Mystery
The question here is where and when this photo was taken. In 1989, I was living in SE New Hampshire and sent this postcard to my parents. My mother saved all the mail I ever sent them, and thanks to that, I have this postcard. Yesterday I stumbled upon the card while looking for something else. […]
Ford’s Foreign Frigates
Ford here refers to USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), currently operating on her initial voyage ever, along with foreign naval vessels, somewhere in the western Atlantic. Here, two of those, frigates, made their way northbound across the Upper Bay shortly after daybreak earlier this week. Identify the flag on the stern? HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën […]
Sixth Boro Details 14
This will be the last post for a few days . . . William F. Fallon Jr. at the Statue. Thomas D. Witte, dredge Delaware, Durham, and some smaller boats in the Upper Bay. Marjorie B. McAllister with NYNJR 200 on the Brooklyn side. Jessica Ann and another RIB appear to be involved in […]
Forward, Ever Forward
Other Evergreen F-class vessels have called in the sixth boro. So can you be sure which one this is? Justine McAllister had the port bow. Again, name that ship? I could just be pulling your leg with that title. Yup, this is the now much-maligned Ever Forward. I too have made the same jokes […]
