Blessings of summer heat, if you don’t have to work out in it, are best relished right after dawn, or from the shade. I chose the first option here as Barney Turecamo, made up to Georgia,
gets an assist in rotating from Turecamo Girls.
Once pointed, a burst of power from its 5100hp EMDs commits the ATB to its course.
Foxy3, with its bright trim ribbons gleaming in the dawn, is off to the job.
Doubleskin 57 arrives from somewhere in the Kills and Elk River
waits to assist Wye River
in placing it alongside the dock gently.
Marjorie B is off to some work, followed by and Poling & Cutler and Vane units.
The P & C unit was Kristin Poling pushing Eva Leigh Cutler.
On another day, Mister T was arriving from outside the Narrows
just as the sun cleared Bay Ridge.
And yet another day and different place, Curtis Reinauer waited alongside RTC 82 during cargo transfer.
All photos, WVD.
The light has been right the past few times I’ve seen Chele-C.
After seeing these winter draggers in the sixth boro for over a decade, they still amaze me; that it happens is surprising. Here Chele-C works the water alongside Barney Turecamo and barge Georgia.
She’s down by Cass Gilbert’s Brooklyn Army Terminal and alongside RTC 107.
The many backgrounds like Erie Basin and the Red Hook Grain Terminal behind her . . . all make her a sight to be seen.
All photos, WVD.
Random, recent, and variously sourced.
The closeup of Nanticoke pushing Doubleskin 57 toward the Goethals Bridge below comes compliments of Allen Baker.
I took this foto of Robert E. McAllister.
Marie J. Turecamo here assists Barney Turecamo, pushing
the 118,000 barrel barge Georgia.
Four of the Dann Marine tugs: l to r, Emerald, Chesapeake in the distance, First, and Calusa . . . all Coast.
Pegasus . . . the former John E. McAllister and so much more . . . the only tug in the sixth boro that today still excurses (yup . . that’s a word!) for the public.
First Coast, the former
Morania No. 18 . . . See the traces of “R–A–N” in the painted metal?
Over in the East River, it’s Bruce A. and
Charles D. McAllister. See the McAllister striped Rosenwach wooden water tank on the building upper skyline left?
From l’amiga . . it’s another shot of Patricia, a 1963 tug built in Port Deposit, MD.
And last but not least . . . just cellphone-snapped by chance by Birk Thomas yesterday, it’s Miss Lis, which at this writing is about to steam past Sandy Hook on her way out of the sixth boro. What’s remarkable about this foto is that Birk caught this Tradewinds tug in the last two miles of a journey that started in LA! I feel like there should be a brass band playing or some other celebration of completion. Click here to my previous “seeing” of another Tradewinds tug.
