Random Tugs 265
A few weeks ago I posted photos erroneously identified as Dorothy J, even though plain as day Robert IV was on the bow. That’s called distraction. But the photo below, plain as day, is Dorothy J. Here was Dorothy J on a foggy morning upriver almost two years ago. Plain as day again . . […]

The 1963 Patricia is always a head-turner, and she was especially so the other morning. The longer I look at the photo below, the more I imagine it framed. Her throaty sound catches the ear as well. Am I mistaken or has that color scheme changed a bit? Carolina Coast makes the sugar run all […]

This post, beginning with Miriam Moran juxtaposed with downtown Newark NJ, is intended to demonstrate just how diverse the sixth boro is, in terms of vessels and shorelines. Has Miriam been in the sixth boro all of its 40-year career? Ernest Campbell is 10 years older than Miriam, and did the better part of a […]

Let’s start with the photo I did NOT get, but jag9889 did; click here to see Resolve Commander and (in the photo stream) the barge it towed Thursday carrying the remaining TZ Bridge structure out to sea. Bravo jag . . . . I’ve long enjoyed your work. The photo below raises some questions […]

Thanks to Joseph Chomicz, it’s Capt. Latham in Port Elizabeth . . . standing by the barge Atlanta Bridge . . . So here’s my question . . . and answer will be located at the end of this post . . . in quo vadis? I’ve not seen this boat in a while . […]

Memorial Day weekend 2019 . . . and we should all remember the meaning, whether we’re working or vacating from work. You can read the names on the vessels or on the tags. All photos by Will Van Dorp, who’d included no links in this post except the one that […]

For folks who’ve been watching sixth boro traffic much longer than I have, Lyman must conjure up a sense of ressursction that I don’t have whenever I see the profile. Then called Crusader, she was tripped by her barge and sank just over 30 years ago. I’ve almost always seen her with barge Sea Shuttle, […]

New in town but probably only in as a transient . . . It’s Michael L. Daigle, fleet mate of some Hebert boats that have also passed through the sixth boro and likely working on a dredging project in the region. Note the white horizontal supports above the wheelhouse door on either side. I’m guessing they’re […]

Here are all the previous installments of this series. Glenn Raymo caught this photo up the Hudson the other day, as Joker assisted a Weeks crane. Hays tugs do come up here occasionally, but I’ve never seen them. Back almost exactly six years ago, the same boat headed upriver as a dead ship. And eight […]
