Other Peoples Photos 41

These photos come thanks to Allen Baker, whose most recent photos you saw here.

I’ll just use his description:  “Heading east in the Long Island Sound on 27 December, just an incredible sky looking aft as we made our way east….

Tangier Island heading across the upper bay with the lower Manhattan skyline as a back drop,

Bering Sea overtaking …  out of the old Port Mobil, Staten Island,

Crowley ATB Coastal Reliance, assisted by the Chas. D. and Bruce McAllister, inbound on the Con Hook Range, and

close up of the Coastal Reliance.”

I can be really happy to escape the winter temperatures, but nothing beats winter light!

Many thanks to Allen Baker for all these photos.

Random Tugs 132

 

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.
