Dace lighters STI Excel.
Neptune comes into town again.
Buchanan 12 makes a rare appearance light, but everyone needs to refuel periodically.
Janet D follows Seeley into the Kills.
How a bout a four’fer . . . counter: Marjorie, Kristin Poling, Nicholas, and Jordan Rose.
Sea Lion heads eastbound.
B. Franklin travels west, and
Discovery Coast, east. . . both light.
Nathan G moves a deep scow into the Kills with Cape Wrath lurking in the background.
Traffic never stops, and it’ll outlast me, the photographer, WVD.
Bet you can guess where that line leads from the bow of Kirby Moran?
Here you go.
Jordan Rose has been tied up in Bayonne for a while, but
Gregg McAllister passes her on the way to an assist.
Michael Miller is one of the venerable tugs of the sixth boro,
having worked here since the mid-1960s.
Cape Fear has been here for a few years, although I’ve not yet seen
her two sisters, Cape May and Cape Henry.
Ava M. is one of the workhorses, certainly.
Does anyone know when and if Capt. Brian A. will return to service here?
Kimberly Turecamo has worked the harbor consistently for going-on 30 years.
Here she heads into an orange sherbet dawn.
All photos in the past week, WVD., who has more Canal Society archival photos coming but some contemporary posts demonstrate my temporary anchor. Also coming up, a photographer high above Hell Gate has shared a new trove of photos from a perspective I’ve missed. Many thanks for your continued interest.
The other day I was on the OBX near Hatteras, and when I checked who was passing by at sea, I noticed an Adeline Marie. I had to look at the image because it was an unfamiliar name.
When I saw this boat along the KVK on Saturday, I wondered who it was, since the lion was there but no name boards.
The stern was smooth.
Later she turned and
lo and behold! Adeline Marie must be the newest name in the sixth boro.
A few months ago here she was clearly Rubia, and below longer ago before she was Denise.
Here’s another shot of Centerline’s renamed J. George Betz. Betz mostly recently appeared on this blog in these posts, still mostly or entirely in Bouchard red.
And finally, here’s the former Evening Star, now Jordan Rose, and floating. See Evening Star‘s transformation in these posts.
All photos, WVD.
Thanks to Tony A and a new contributor, Ray M, here is more on the dispersal of the Bouchard fleet. One boat has been renamed William F. Fallon Jr. Know the boat? Know the reference? I’d say William F. Fallon Jr. is the newest name in the sixth boro.
Tony A sent the photo above and below, showing Susan Rose and Anna Rose. Do you know their previous names?
Ray M got some closer up photos of the stern of Anna Rose yesterday.
The barge used to be the 2012 B. No. 250. More on that and her 2019 sister 252 here.
And how new is the paint on that name? Well . . . isn’t that masking tape beside the letters?
Many thanks to Tony A and Ray M for use of these photos.
Here’s more on William F. Fallon Jr: the namesake was a Port Authority manager who died on 9/11. The vessel used to be J. George Betz and has been purchased by Centerline Logistics.
Susan used to be Evening Breeze and Anna used to be Jane A. Bouchard.
Unrelated: Greenpeace is in the sixth boro, protesting Russian crude deliveries here, allowed by the sanctions. Here is a Greenpeace tracker that follows some of the tankers that have departed Russian ports with petro cargo since the attack on Ukraine began.
It’s hard to beat morning light for drama, as is the case here with QM2 getting assisted by James D. and
Doris Moran into her berth in Red Hook, as I shoot into that light.
Taken only a few minutes later, this photo of FV Eastern Welder dragging the bottom in front of the Weeks yard had me shooting with the rising sun behind me.
Bayonne dry dock is full of business. Note the formerly Bouchard tug Jordan Rose and Cape Wraith off its bow. I’m not sure which Miller’s Launch OSV that is. To the left, that’s Soderman.
Hyundai Speed and Glovis Sirius shift cargo.
More shooting into the light here toward Bay Ridge, where lots is happening.
Torm Louise‘s color just looks cold.
Afrodite has been around the world several times each year since the hoopla of her moving Bakken crude from Albany has subsided. Note the unidentified formerly Bouchard tugboat to the extreme left.
And with the drama of morning light, wild clouds form the backdrop to three tugboats seeing CMA CGM Pegasus out the door on a windy day.
All photos earlier this week, WVD, who feels fortunate to live in a place like this where my drama exists only in photos.
I’ve mentioned before that I’m always looking for novelty. Here’s one, new to me at least,
the 4400 hp Chincoteague with Double Skin 802. I’d love to get closer-up pics one of these days.
Nicole Leigh Reinauer, a 7200 hp beauty twenty years almost senior, passes Chincoteague on her way to
rejoin her barge, RTC 135.
Meanwhile Miriam Moran follows in a ship as one of the assists.
Moments earlier, the 1979 3000 hp Miriam had accompanied 1982 4610 hp Doris Moran to meet the ship.
The 2021 4000 hp Jordan Rose, ex-Evening Star and now in Rose Cay colors, is high and dry alongside Sorenson (?) Miller on the hard at Bayonne Drydock.
The 2008 4200 hp Pocomoke passes the KV buoy, which made soothing noises as it rose and settled in the chop.
The 1999 4500 hp Patrice heads out to meet a ship.
And finally, 1999 3600 hp Stephen Dann looked particularly good as she headed out to her next job.
All photos, this week, WVD.
Thanks for sending photos along. Capt. Jack Aubrey sent this along from Baltimore. He says, “The ship name and the assembled team almost looks set up. L to R: Eric, Timothy and Bridget McAllister.”
It really does. I’ll bet Pretty Team could travel all the English-speaking ports of the world and highlight all the great and pretty teams. At the moment, she’s still looking to pose with more teams in Baltimore.
Given the cold weather today, Tim Powell sent along these next photos from near Ottawa IL, midpoint on the Illinois River between Chicago and Peoria. Tim writes: “Once again I had the opportunity to serve my beloved transportation industry. On 01/05/2022 we delivered a load to the towboat MV Brian Napack. B&M Midstream is a full service family owned company. It was a chilly 10 degrees on the Illinois River in Ottawa Ill, with a 20 to 30 mph wind.”
When they receive an order, B&M Midstream goes to the nearest boat ramp, launches the boat,
comes in alongside,
transfers the supplies,
and then hauls the supply boat back onto the trailer. I guess the windows would clear once it warmed up, but the internet tells me it’s about that same temperature in that part of the Illinois River today.
And finally, Capt. Tony A caught Susan Rose –ex-Evening Breeze–the other days, and a bit later,
he caught J. George Betz in mid-paint transformation to Betz the Centerline boat. Watch for the lion to go on the stack.
Many thanks to Tony, Tim, and Jack for sharing these photos. I’ll keep my eyes open for more Pretty ships. Here‘s another one.
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 as warehouse blue–for over 20 years.
In a different way, Marjorie B profile varies from a lower to higher wheelhouse depending on the job.
Jill Reinauer has worn Reinauer colors for over 20 years also, although she has seen some modifications of profile more recently.
Brendan is currently in dry dock, but when I took this photo, she was standing by with a large barge. I’ll post a photo of her high and dry soon.
This post began with a Bouchard tug in transition. It’s fitting to end with one that already looks quite different . . . Evening Light is now Mary Emma. currently on Narragansett Bay.
All photos, WVD.
