It’s great to be back in the sixth boro, if only for a few days. Yes, Choices mean I still live and vote here, but won’t be present much this whole year.
A Dutch treat . . . it’s “spare canal,” at least that’s the translation of this general cargo vessel name.
Catching Pioneer with a full set of enthusiasts passing the statue . . . makes me happy.
Virginia pushing contents of 10,000 sandboxes . . . is quite nice too.
X surely marks the spot where SIX haulouts are getting some work done. I can only identify the USCGC, Gelberman, Dace, and Andrea. Another vessel seems to be hanging in the slings. Any help?
I’d thought the USCGC was Katherine Walker, but it’s actually William Tate.
Mackenzie Rose hauled a barge into the Kills.
Two towboat style vessels . . . Miss Madeline and Buchanan 12 cross.
And finally. . . . it’s Adeline Marie…
near above and far below.

Long shadows, rocky bank, a moody sky, and
recognize that unit?
Marc N is not a familiar name . . .
It’s a lion boat, and
. . . oh yeah, Adeline Marie has had a couple of earlier names as here. Marc N was previously B. No. 284, I believe.

Call this a continuation of yesterday’s post, but this is a model bow set . . . . Given all the features that could be discussed, focus on these for oldest/newest, smallest/largest, and least/most horsepower. Also, one of these does not fit with the others, although all are tugboats.

Doris Moran

Again, identify the oldest/newest, smallest/largest, and least/most horsepower.
James William Here she appears to be towing a mooring into Erie Basin Brooklyn.
Millie B and Louis C. These two certainly do not fit in with this post, but . . . I’m posting this photo anyhow. Previously, Millie B has appeared here. Louis C has appeared here. I hope you’re getting ready with your answers.

Adeline Marie
All photos and any errors, WVD. All info here thanks to Birk Thomas’ invaluable tugboatinformation.
Ready? No cheating.
Just guesses.
Answers?
Oldest is Rowan M, and newest is Philadelphia. 1981 and 2017.
Smallest considering both length and beam is James William, and longest is Doris Moran although Douglas J is the beamiest. Lengths are 77′ and 118′.
Least horses is James William, and most is Douglas J. They range from 2800 hp to 4800 hp.
Besides Millie B, the outlier is James William because she has a push-knee bow–rather than a model bow. Also, she’s the only triple screw here.
Here’s a post I struggled with yesterday. The photos are not the best to document what I saw: a convergence of tugboats that all used to wear the same livery but now bearing new names.
Susan Rose used to be Evening Breeze. Although you can see part of the name plate, the stack has not yet received the blue/gray Rose Cay paint.
Next in the anchorage was Adeline Rose, now a Centerline boat but formerly Rubia and before that Denise A. Bouchard. See the scant but be-shadowed orange forward of the engine room vent.
A bit farther south in the anchorage were two more former Bouchard units. Left to right now are The Beatrice and Jeffrey (or Jeffery) S, with barges B. No. 282 and B. No. 280.
Jeffrey S used to be
Rhea I. Bouchard is now The Beatrice. I’m eager to see these two–ex-Rhea and Ellen–light so that I can confirm photographically the name update.
Jordan Rose is now clearly visible with her blue/gray stack, although I’m not sure the stack color matches that on Lynne M. Rose.
Maybe it’s just the quality of post-fog light.
All photos this week, WVD, who never saw all these changes coming or he’d have invested in marine paint.
Lightning is here and has been for at least four years, and Thunder is on its way.
From 2014 and therefore two years newer than Lightning, Adeline Marie, previously Denise A. Bouchard, was heading over to the Industry Day on Wednesday. I caught a few photos of her as Rubia in between her original and her latest livery.
The 2006 Kristin Poling first came to the sixth boro as the 5000 hp 111′ x 36′ Chesapeake. Here was my first good view of her as a Poling/Cutler tugboat.
Atlantic Enterprise has been keeping busy with runs with dredge spoils from the North River passenger terminal out to the dump site aka HARS. For a day’s worth of reading, click here for a July 2022 report on HARS.
The 1981 Susan Miller pushes a small deck barge through congested waters here. She’s been working in the boro for as long as I’ve been doing this blog.
The 1968 Marie J. Turecamo has worked in the Moran livery for over 20 years.
Scale is clear from this side-by-side photo of the 2007 Saint Emilion (105′ x 38′ and 4800 hp) and the 1982 McCormack Boys ( 74′ x 26′ and 1200 hp), both hauled out over at Bayonne Dry Dock.
The 2007 Normandy (79′ x 27′ and 1900 hp) has been in the boro since 2015.
The 1981 Navigator (64′ x 24′ and 1200 hp) has to be one among the busiest boats in the harbor and the region.
The 1975 Mary Emma (100′ x 31′ and 3900 hp) has worked under this livery since 2021. I caught her transformation here about a year ago.
All photos and any errors, WVD, who thanks you for continuing to read this blog.
Centerline Logistics is a relatively new name. Or should that be pronounced “sent her lion”?
The orange “centerline” is also gradually being added to the fleet. Andrea was here three years–and sans upper house-– before she became a lion boat; here was first I saw that part of her logo.
Name this one?
Lightning has recently returned to the boro. Named for a horse?
So here’s the unit pushing Long Island, and getting an assist
from Lightning.

I’ve mentioned before here that I used to freshwater fish, a lot. Canoe fishing at daybreak was the best, although there were days when nothing seemed alive in places where other days the waters fizzed with life and I could have several meals of fish in the boat before most people were awake. The same could be said about sitting in certain places along the sixth boro. This happened the other morning. First Pelham left the dock.
Just east of the salt pile she passed Treasure Coast, which was just more than stemming at two or so knots.
After pirouetting for a while just off Atlas Yacht Club, she spun back eastward and I thought she was going to refuel. Adjacent to Treasure Coast are ATBs Galveston and Ruth M. Reinauer. I was introduced to US Shipping back in 2008 with their ITB Philadelphia here, here, and here.
And we’ll pick things up there tomorrow.
All photos, WVD.
Related: File this under the “I heard that but didn’t process it at the time” heading: US Shipping Corp was acquired by Seacor almost a year ago. Seacor is quite the diverse shipping company. I recall last late summer was busy, and I didn’t come to understand that fact until now. US Shipping has maintained their white/red/green livery.
Tangentially related: Want to see a tugboat “constructed” in a 10-minute video? Check out this video from Ocean Groupe from Canada.
Clearly unrelated but FUN: Check out this live-eel barge . . . it transports live eels! Thx, Phil.
Happy Canada Day to our neighbors to the north, where half my relatives come from.
I barely saw the sixth boro this June, so I had to catch up a bit, adding another day to the month to do so. Over by the Bayonne Centerline yard, I saw three previously Bouchard boats all wearing or about the wear the lion. L to r, it’s now Ellen S. Bouchard, Adeline Marie, and William F. Fallon Jr, previously named
Ellen S. Bouchard, Denise A. Bouchard, and J. George Betz
I also noticed a flag flying at what appeared to be half mast.
I wonder if that flag marked the passing of Capt. Brian A. McAllister, long an iconic figure in the all the boros of NYC. This photo below was taken at the christening of Ava M. McAllister in midJuly 2019.

Adeline Marie was at anchor off the Coney Island Light.
Douglas J and a dump scow were shuttling to and from HARS.
Mary Emma was arriving from sea.
Joyce Brown passed a big unstuck green ship,
Stuff is always happening, and all photos, WVD.
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.
