Thanks to Allen Baker, here are two “golden hour” photos of likely the newest ship-assist tug in the sixth boro, Capt. Brian A. McAllister.
Here’s my limited first view of the new McAllister, taken back in mid-August, right after she arrived.
She’s mostly hidden by Eric, although this allows a profile comparison of the two. Here’s a point by point comparison of the superstructure of Capt. Brian and Eric.
My own chance to see the new boat closer up came earlier this week, and
I share those photos here.
In contrast, I took these photos of the previous Brian A. McAllister–now scrapped–in 2008.

Name that tug? Answer follows.
Kodiak . . . this is a new one for me and a one-off trip for the vessel?
The tug here is
Liberty Service. And yes, that’s Chesapeake Coast in the distance.
McKinley Sea leads Bluefin in from the anchorage. I’m not sure why Bluefin is still gray.
This is an impressive lineup in the late fall afternoon light: the McAllisters Kate, Bruce, Helen, Brothers, Brian . . and more.
This vessel I truly don’t know. It’s new in the harbor, and I have a hunch . . . but will keep that to myself.
And the mystery tug at the start of this post was none other than W. O. Decker. Here’s one of my favorite set of old photos of Decker. Here are many others.
All photos very recently by Will Van dorp.
