Remember the December 2016 saga involving
Colleen McAllister and Katie G. McAllister? Note the blackout painting where the stack rings once were? Thanks to Krystal Kauffman, here’s
an update from Muskegon.
The photo below comes from Jake Van Reenen as they were departing Frink Park in Clayton near the 1000 Islands. It’s a moody photo. Ontario–ex-Jeffrey K McAllister— and Erie–ex-Missy McAllister— traveled from the East Coast, with a stop in Halifax, and
were in Cleveland earlier this year. If that is Erie, along Ontario‘s starboard side, she’s already received some paint. South Carolina, maybe scrapped by now, is a product of Manitowoc 1925.
Maine, a product of Cleveland, dates from 1921.
Towmaster is a 1952 product of Bushey, currently shown here in New London.
Ira S. Bushey also produced Thameship, a 1940 vessel, two hulls later than Chancellor.
Thanks to Krystal Kauffman for use of the first three photos, hats off to Jake Van Reenen, and the others by Will Van Dorp.
If you “do” FB, Krystal has a FB page called My Michigan By Krystal.
Here’s what’s on the surface and
here’s a bigger picture. That trio in the sky following Bruce A McAllister tails us as well!
Big Jake once
trafficked the sixth boro as Juliet Reinauer.
Over at the Brooklyn passenger terminal, Jonathan C waits,
canvas on the fenders, to assist Crown Princess out.
And given my scarceness in the sixth boro, the only image I have to date of the new Capt. Brian A. McAllister has the tug concealed by Alex and Eric.
And then out on the Sound, it’s John P Wronowski and escort,
headed for the barn.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who recently stumbled onto an interesting blog, now added to my blogroll under a seamsters.org Damn autocorrect . . . I really typed aa seasisters.org the “aa” being there to keep this near the top of my links.
