Thanks to Great Lakes Mariner 3
Well . . . a couple of Great Lakes mariners who prefer to remain nameless . . . but let’s start with a photo of Joel B from a few years ago. She’s quite the attractive boat! Thanks so much to a GL Mariner for responding to Saturday’s post by sending another of that boat […]
Thanks to Great Lakes Mariner
A friend who works on the Great Lakes sent me these next two photos recently. When I saw Anglian Lady in the foreground, my first thought was that I’d seen her myself but she looked somehow different. More on that later. Anglian Lady was Thornycraft built and launched in Southampton UK as Hamtun, a 132′ […]
Thanks to Great Lakes Mariner 2
Time gets away from me quite a lot. Notwithstanding the 50-degree temperatures and bursting blooms, it certainly does not feel like it, we’re several days into spring, and I’d intended this as my last winter’s day post, following up on another post from this Great Lakes mariner . . . maybe I should say great […]
Truckster! 25
We’ve updated our incomplete work from yesterday, and hey . . it’s May, tugster is away, and that makes it a perfect time for another installment of . . . truckster! For starters, how about a 1950 F-1 on the street in Queens!@#! Along the road on a recent tugster road gallivant and inside the […]
Other Peoples Photos 104
Divemasters MV Atlantic Surveyor came into Tony A’s lens the other day. Click here for some of the diverse projects this boat has been involved with. Kapitein Rob caught a few tugboats in the foggy west end of Long Island Sound last week: Mister T and Navigator. Tony A caught this view of Pacific Reliance […]
Road Fotos 2022 A
Not all photos I take have water in them. Carrying a camera, phone or otherwise, anywhere has had an impact on the way I live. Let me share some photos I’ve taken (or received) in the past few months. None of these were taken on Route 66, but all the routes and roads and byways […]
Down and Up the Black Rock Canal
This is the same story as yesterday’s, but the perspective is different, thanks to a Great Lakes mariner. New York slides the 509A into Black Rock Lock, a USACE facility. By the way, Black Rock was a town that once rivaled Buffalo. The photo above looks downbound, but the one below looks back toward Buffalo […]
Really Random Tugs 46
Happy 4th of July. Here’s some sixth boro, some heartland, and some Pacific Northwest. Here‘s the series. But let’s start with Robert IV, a workhorse who last appeared in this blog here. Hundreds of Cheyenne photos have appeared on this blog, showing her in a range of colors and trims; this photo was taken last week […]
Sarah Dann and 38
Excuse the duplication here, but since this was a long voyage, I’ll repeat some of the early shots and add new ones farther down the page. A Great Lakes mariner took this is Manitowoc on May 29. Jeremy Whitman got these as the tow left Manitowoc on May 30. Jake Van Reenen got this […]
From the Line Locker 30
Have you read or heard references to a “trackless sea” or “trackless deep”? Last night I was looking a “whole ocean” views of traffic. Notice the magenta stream? Recall that the magenta arrowheads show recreational vessels. The green (cargo ships) and red (tanker) arrowheads seem much more random, but the magenta . . . pink […]
