Other Peoples Photos 86
Click here for the previous 85 posts with this title. Lead photos today come from former owner of this push boat in West Burlington, Iowa. The vessel, then known as Izona, has since traveled the Interstates and two-lanes to Highlands, NJ, towed by the much-loved Peterbilt of John Zook, of Lewisburg, PA. Maybe you saw […]
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 […]
Redux More Fishing Tugs 4
In Mackinaw City four and a half years ago, I took and posted photos of the very rusty 1938 fish tug Kari A, one of which you see directly below. But a lot can happen in that period of time, further decrepitude or thorough rehabilitation. Above, that’s before, and what follows, is now. Many thanks […]
Barges 4
Jeremy Whitman took this photo of the big blue Konecranes #38 crane. Tail boat is Candace Elise, prior to 2015 known as Stephen Dann, as here. OXBO is managing the transport. They departed Manitowoc a week or so ago and are now in a very wide portion of the Saint Lawrence, downstream from Gaspé Peninsula. […]
Other Peoples Photos 92
Since we’ve had some extreme weather, how about a different type of extreme . . . with NYC DEP sludge tanker Red Hook approaching the unique Riverbank State Park, one of three state parks within Manhattan, the one with a wastewater treatment plant beneath it. I’ve just read that it’s now renamed the Denny Farrell […]
Labor Days Past
Yesterday, Labor Day, I took no photos, except one of a wood sign carving project in progress. It turns out . . . Labor Day 2020 I took no photos either; these were sent to me though by Josh Watts, and embarrassingly, I’ve not posted them until now. Sometimes I get into a groove and […]
Canal Motor Ship Project A
Let’s start with some of the tanker ships that worked the Barge Canal, and these are in chronological order by build date. One that I found no images of in the archives was Buffalo Socony, built in 1920, which I saw when I first came to the sixth boro as Coral Queen. See also here. […]

After a number of “misfires” this past week, I’ve made some changes. To inaugurate these new protocols, I’m pleased to share photos you’ve sent in. First, from Great Lakes Mariner, a few photos of Cheyenne in her new Lake Michigan waters. These photos were taken in Manitowoc, which some of you will recognize from the […]
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 […]
Retro Sixth Boro 40 B
Today the sixth boro and environs face Henri, whose story is yet to be told. August 26, 2011 . . . I was at the Staten Island Ferry terminal, and these Hurricane Irene signs were up. When Irene’s story was told, it had done unusual damage upstate far from salt water; here’s more. Some repairs […]
