Random Ships 3

Cape Brasilia, offloading in the Upper Bay the other day, convinced me I’d seen her before, but

 

I hadn’t. Below is her older sister by two years although identical in size, Cape Bruny.

 

And another shot of Cape Bruny, a UPT vessel launched in 2004.

 

Mediocre foto below but fantastic link. Check out the Hellespont “life at sea” videos on the left navigation bar. Anyone identify the red-roofed tower on the ridge to the right?

Here’s a shot of the entire vessel.  Any idea where Hellespont is?

Orange 3

What’s orange: Life jackets, signal smoke flares, lifeboats . . . lots of stuff. So is this handysize UPT chemical tanker named Cape Bruny escorted in at sunrise by a brace of McAllister tugs. Any guess where Cape Bruny lies? Answer follows.

 

Notice how busy the Arthur Kill was this morning.

 

McAllister Responder moves to starboard.

 

Even safety overalls are orange. I’m curious about the tank codes (FO, SL, 6, 5 , etc) along the top of the hull.

The small container ship Indian Ocean off the portside of Cape Bruny is orange.

 

Cape Bruny location: clues…. a lighthouse was built there in 1838, located on an island off the southeast tip of ….

Bruny Island . . . . Tasmania.
