Random Tugs 135

First time photo of this tugboat underway . . . Stephen B pushing James Joseph.  AND first time photo on this blog by Glen Dauphin, whose work I have admired on FB.

If I’m not mistaken, this is the same tug–previous name–and sans upper wheelhouse.  I took the photo on New Years Day.

Haggerty Girls and  RTC 107, with an assist from Matthews Tibbetts . . . getting underway.

Franklin Reinauer pushing past . . .

Kimberly Poling with Edwin A. Poling, no doubt headed up to where the ice is thicker.

Eric McAllister precedes her.

And finally Pacific Dawn . . .

. . . coming in from Gravesend Bay, where . .

can anyone explain what part of the gas project–if any–they’ve been working on just off Coney Island’s western tip?

Thanks much to Glen for the first photo above.  All others by Will Van Dorp.

 

Really Random Tugs 22

With many thanks to Tony A for the top two photos . .  it’s possibly the latest arrival in the sixth boro.

And the bottom photo is about as far from the sixth boro as you can get and still be in the Empire State . . . Kurt R. Luedtke, caught here on the Buffalo river . . .  in the great city of Buffalo.
