Random Tugs 169

Time to recapitulate the “go west” journey and post the many photos of tugboats I’ve omitted . . . .

Passing Senesco, we saw Buckley McAllister approaching us;  I photographed the boat as someone there photographed us.  I’m not sure which Reinauer tug that is in the background.

In the East river the next morning, we passed Cornell at the Brooklyn Barge, a food and drink venue I need to make time to visit.

 

Over by the Circle Line pier, it’s–well–Miss Circle Line, a reinvention of a Matton tug launched in 1955 and previously called Betsy.  Thanks to Paul Strubeck for reading the name board lettering here before it’s applied . . .  That was a joke, but thanks, Paul.

James William moves stone Mississippi River style down the sixth boro into the gargantuan building site encompassing the other five boros.

Near 79th Street, this unidentified tug was supporting a pier project.

Along the Palisades north of the GW Bridge, Comet pushed Eva Leigh Cutler.

 

And Miss Yvette moved a scow not far from where

Carolina Coast waited for her sugar barge to be emptied into the maw of the Domino plant in Yonkers.

 

All photos by will Van Dorp, who hopes to see you at the screening of Graves of Arthur Kill at the the Staten Island ferry terminal on August 13.
