East River Catch Up 7
Pete Ludlow’s photos have shown a variety of vessel traffic near Hell Gate. Here’s a whimsical set, not really work boats for a day I’m having a hard time working or even thinking about working. Who knew the variety of traffic here?!! There has to be a story here, and photos are said to be […]

Let’s get back to some Pete Ludlow photos. Co Morgan has such a long history of names going back to 1951 1965, I’m just going to paste it in here. A high vantage point helps convey appreciation for the train of three Mister Jim tows through Hell Gate. Ditto Navigator. From this perspective, her smart […]

Thanks for these shots to Pete Ludlow. You could call some of this post “Yachts a Million 5 Redux.” Gene Chaser appeared on this blog back last fall, but from different angles. As of this late April writing, she’s in Miami. Some great photos of her and the yacht she supports can be seen here. […]

I’ve taken a break from that series to “catch up.” Next I’ll alternate in posts using photos thanks to Pete Ludlow, whose aerie high above the East […]

Her current draught is reported to be 4.5 meters. Her length overall (LOA) is 68.28 meters and her width is 13.11 […]

More photos here thanks to Pete Ludlow. The Amigo is an asphalt tanker. That means she moves her cargo around at almost 300 degrees F. She was eastbound with assist by James D Moran. What do you suppose Vinik No. 6 had in tow? Nicholas and Liz assisted as well. But of […]
