Tagster 6
Today I pass a personal milestone . . . er, year stone, so the editors in Tugster Tower allow me to veer off topic . . . first, to muse about the effect of picking up a camera and navigating life with it. While I mostly photograph “sixth boro … and beyond” things that float, […]
Tagster 5
I blamed Christina Sun aka bowsprite for starting permutations of “tugster,” but I’m not revealing any great secret to say I’m glad for her influence. Unrelated to that and her, I went to a new part of the “terrest boros” the other day, of course a boat was involved . . . but more on […]
Tagster 4
Happy September 3, and August 2 and . . . well, someone’s vision of the moment or a zeitgeist, heritage, zeitgeist, heritage, zeitgeist, heritage… All photos by Will Van Dorp, who thinks that’s where a tension exists.

Tagster!
I blame my dear friend Christina Sun for this post. Well, “blame” is the wrong word, but I’ll use it. She started it many years ago with this post on her blog, a project which I believe is “under re-powering and life extension,” to borrow someone else’s phrasing, and needs some encouragement, although she’ll blame […]
Brigitte Bardot
Is this the latest tagster post? A fan club for an octogenarian who quickened the pulse of boys I knew back in the 1950s and 1960s? And this? MV Brigitte Bardot is one of the “Neptune’s navy.” Almost 10 years ago, I toured another one of their vessels, Steve Irwin, while it was in NYC. Irwin […]
Random Tugs 249
The blog is called tugster, and not tatter, taster, tagster or truckster, as much fun as those digressions may be, being able to be a bit obsessively focused, this is the 249th installment! If you add in the non-random tug posts, it’s even more than 249. W. O. Decker, the only wooden-hulled tug in […]
