A decade ago, the split-hulled trailing suction hopper dredger Atchafalaya was in the sixth boro. These days in 2023 the 1980 vessel in the St. Johns River of the Alligator and Sunshine State. I don’t believe it actually worked in the sixth boro.
The west side walkway made for a lot of photography on my part in spring 2013, like Asian King here making the turn at Bergen Point with assist from Gramma Lee T Moran. The 1998 RORO today goes by Liberty King and is located between Hokkaido and Honshu. Gramma Lee is working in san Juan these days.
Evening Tide is currently in chrysalis state in Brooklyn.
Pretty World had to be “dead-ship assisted” into port 10 years ago. The assist tugs (l to r) are Margaret Moran (I think), Marion Moran, and Gramma Lee. The 2007 tanker now goes by a much more prosaic Central and is in port off Ivory Coast. Marion Moran is now Dann Marine’s Topaz Coast.

No comment needed on this tale of two cities.
Maersk Ohio is currently in Norfolk.
The US-flagged Maersk ship is assigned on the northern Europe run.
Superior Service is now Genesis Vision, currently in Lake Charles LA.
The 1971 Fred Johannsen, usually mostly up the Hudson, came down in April 2013 to do-si-do back upriver with Taurus, now Hay’s Joker.
Ellen McAllister is still Ellen McAllister. But from this angle, a proto-drone view from the Bayonne Bridge, she appears more rotund than I usually imagine.
Marion Moran focuses on giving the 1996 HanJin San Francisco an extra amount of shove to round Bergen Point. I believe 4024 teu container ship has been scrapped.
And finally, North Sea is now Sause’s Kokua, now working around Maui.
All photos, any errors, WVD, who loves these opportunities to look back at all the changes that have transpired.
Here was 1 . . . from about a year ago. But what’s this . . . hoops at a food emporium?
Basketball with new floor markings and maybe new rules? By the way, assisting along the starboard side of the RORO is Gramma Lee T Moran, the same tugboat featured in Back in the Sixth Boro 1.
No . . . an entertainment and fitness adaptation of RORO Asian King. Click here to visit a ship. Click here for the numbers . . . including how many cars this vessel can carry.
And although I lack clear photographic evidence, I did see
two dolphins swimming off Bergen Point, off the starboard side of Asian King.
Happy to be back . . . all fotos by Will Van Dorp, this morning.
