Mackenzie Rose and Paul Andrew are eastbound, and Mary Turecamo, westbound. A light Haggerty Girls westbound, passing Laurie Ann Reinauer. Kimberly Poling moves a barge out of the Kills. A bulker in the anchorage gets bunkered by Kings Point. Katya Atk needs to repaint the name on the starboard bow. And Helen Laraway […]

Mornings on the KVK can be busy. Above, Sea Fox (1971) follows Barney Turecamo (1995), and below, Kimberly Poling (1994) is followed by Mary H (1981) Kimberly Turecamo (1980) and Marjorie A. McAllister (1974) head east to escort different incoming ships. Chesapeake Coast (2012) assists Gulf Coast (1982) moving the cement barge out into the […]

Mary Turecamo, 4300 hp ad waiting for a ship at the Narrows, could not look better. She’s an almost 40-year-old product of Matton Shipyard. In fact, she was their last product. Christiana heads out as Virginia, 1440 hp and launched in 1979, comes in from sea, out of the haze. Christiana was launched in Marinette WI […]

Here’s an extraordinarily busy photo; Nicole Leigh is about to ease right around Shooters. Beyond that tug, a half dozen or so more tugboats, an antenna, a bridge, a refinery, steam . . . Gulf Coast waits in front of a 12-pack of IMTT silos. Navigator continues shuttling around, moving fuel. Buchanan 5 is not […]

Justine has been back in the sixth boro awhile now after quite some time away. She’s a 1982 product of Jakobson, one of the last half dozen built there. From this angle she reminds me of Siberian Sea, now Mike Azzolino. She works with 4000 hp. Recent days have seen a convergence of the Cape-class, […]

Location 1? Do you know this tug? Location 2. Tug Rachel is with this unusual looking cargo ship, Lihue. Viking pushes southbound past Castle Rock and Comet northbound along the Hudson River. Near the west end of the East River, it’s C. Angelo and near the east end, it’s Navigator with GT Bulkmaster heading west […]

I recall my first time seeing the KVK, astonished by the density of commercial traffic. Of course, I’d just come from northern New England’s freshwater meandering rivers, surfable sandy coastlines, and marsh creeks. Patrice steamed westbound, light, Kimberly eastbound, Josephine, Daisy Mae, moving a half acre of scows… Helen Laraway, Daisy Mae again a few […]

In a real way, this post is about cargo also. Look at this top photo . . . any guesses what’s unique about the cargo? This is the only the second time I post a photo of Double Skin 510A, here pushed by Wye River, but it’s the first time I call attention to it […]

Note the line boat off B. Franklin‘s starboard. Also, faintly to her port and beyond the green buoy hull down is a Kirby tug, probably one of the Cape-class boats. Actually part of the same scene panning to the left–note the line boat on the extreme right side of the photo–it’s Joyce D. Brown with […]
