On a recent foggy rainy day, I caught Elk River bunkering (I believe) Maritime Kelly Anne. That’s certainly an interesting name, although yesterday Endless Summer topped it, arriving from Brasil. Might there be a string of ships with movie name references out on the oceans? I love how fog narrows the depth of field in […]

Denali arrived in the sixth boro for the first time about three years ago, and I compared her with a fleet mate here. I believe that fleet mate is now scrapped. If you’ve never seen a tug out of the water, here’s a sense of that. I’ve done other “dry hulls” photos, as you can […]

Want to check out Random Tugs 001? The 001 got added more recently than 2007 because back then, I had no idea I’d go on. In the 2007 photo, might that be Mary Turecamo along with the Reinauer tugs, which are also still at work operating out of the sixth boro. The other morning Mary […]

Radar helps when you can’t see in the fog, but even on a clear day, you can’t see the crew operating this 2013 2000 hp tugboat, or its history . . . how it got to become a fixture in the sixth boro. Ditto this 1994 tug, operating with 3000 hp. Here Kimberly Poling is […]

I’m not disparaging, but my first thought was “just another” Vane tug heading across the bow, until we passed and I noticed it was Charleston, which I believe is Vane’s newest tug in the sixth boro. The new “ubiquitous” vessels on the sixth boro waterways move containerized trash. Pathfinder is one of the tugboats assigned […]

Today it’s all light, technically. Other than that, this set is all sizes, all ages, all powers, and all shapes. Let’s start with Gabby L., built in 2007 (?), 25.9′ x 13.7′, and rated as 660 hp. Comparing that, check out Genesis Vigilant, which I first met as Michigan Service, (same order of numbers) 1981, […]

I took this photo after dawn, technically, and what detail of tug James D Moran is lost because of low light is somewhat compensated for by the lights of the boats and on the Brooklyn background. Ditto . . . a few minutes later, the lights are dramatic as James D passes the illuminated IMTT […]

Day in day out . . . and night in night out, port work goes on. Here James D finishes up escorting a gargantuan “flower” ship out. Sea Eagle stands by with her barge while Dace refuels. Pearl Coast heads for Caddells, where Kings Point is getting some work done. Discovery Coast leaves the Gowanus […]

J. George Betz and Morton Bouchard Jr. raft up on the floating dock. Helen Laraway pushes toward the east. JRT passes Weddell Sea on the way home after completion of another job. Daisy Mae moves a deeply loaded scow westbound. I’m not certain but believe the product is road salt. Discovery Coast heads over toward […]

I’m always on the look out for new tugboats in the harbor, and Camie mostly fits that bill. A bit of research, though, finds she’s been on the blog a few times already, however. Here, l to r, it’s Polar Bright, Ava, New York, and Stephen B. Robert Burton here is tending a rock scow […]
