The red upper wheelhouse is no more, although I’m not certain what new paint scheme will evolve, or when Evening Star will become Jordan Rose, as Evening Breeze became Susan Rose. Follow this transformation we will. Ellen transformed from Navy gray to McAllister colors 20 years ago. Atlantic Salvor has worn Donjon blue–almost the same […]

Here’s a sampling of boats working I saw in the sixth boro the past week; the variety of boats, though, is greater than these would suggest. Frances . . . was launched on Long Island in 1957. Scroll through here and see photos of Frances I took in 2010 when she still had the Turecamo […]

I’m on a short gallivant, but I have no shortage of sixth boro photos, mostly of tugboats engaged in commerce. Sometimes I look for meetings, and interesting (how ever that’s defined) ones are best.

If you’ve never hung out at any of the public places on the KVK and you’re interested in tugboats or shipping in general, you are missing something. The Upper Bay is a busy place also. M Faber Park is a great place when it’s open. You get views of the Bayonne Bridge and the east […]

There’s lots of lifting capacity here, but no towing or pushing capacity. Philadelphia passes the Manhattan skyline solo. From the west, Justine and Jonathan head for a job. Magothy passes Helen Laraway, Cape Lookout, and Lois Ann L. Moran. There’s a progression here . . . more tugboats in this photo than in the […]
