Government Boats 46

Government Boats 39
I’ve been waiting to get a good photo of the latest FDNY vessel under way and I caught it here the other day. Her top speed exceeds 40 knots, an important feature given the need to urgently respond to a crisis. Another relatively new government boat in the harbor is NYPD 621, P. O. […]

I wanted to catch this vessel in the resplendent colors of October along the Erie Canal. Watch here for sixth boro harbor news for the time of a welcome ceremony at the Statue […]
