It still says Eastern Star Dawn, but now it’s Toula!

She’s going to look great all buff and green.

Barry Silverton finally

has a lion on its stack! All those birds? It’s water teeming with the bunker, the bunker that recently drew a humpback into the Upper Bay.

Pelham, launched in 1960, is always a pleasant sight. She has a list of previous names almost as long as my seasonal wish list this year.

Here she took a wake on the bow.

James William used the waters off the salt pile

as a turning basin.

And finally, after a long hiatus down south, CMT Pike has returned. When i caught her, she was being pursued

by this container ship.

Unrelated but of interest, below . . .
yes, Grain de Sail is a 72′ schooner coming into the sixth boro with a 50-ton cargo hold, some of it refrigerated, bringing in French wine. She’ll set up a market in the Brooklyn Navy Yard for about a week. Contact info and an e-shop can be found here, although you’ll have to use a machine translate if you’re not up to functionality in French.
Grain de Sail is involved in triangular trade, French wine to here and the Caribbean, and then Caribbean chocolate and other products to France . . . . Something similar in sail freight domestically has been done by Ceres and more recently by Apollonia. The most recent international sailing cargo into the sixth boro that I know of was Black Seal, a three-masted schooner.

Liberty Island is a Wisconsin-built dredge from 2002. Here’s a long history of other vessels from her same yard.
Here’s Swarna Mala (2010) being lightered by Dolphin and Quantico Creek and anchored slightly south of Fidelity II (2011).
White Pearl (1985) ha left the sixth boro and is headed for
Veracruz.
UASC vessel Al-Kharj heads for sea.
It almost looks like a container escaped off the deck of CMA CGM Dalila and is now southbound on 440, along with three persons of interest walking in the same direction.
That can’t happen, right?
A deep-laden Maersk Sarnia meets Barney Turecamo near the same bridge.
And we will call it quits here.
