This is an impressive load of scrap, pushed along on a barge CMT Y Not 2, which I’ve usually associated with piles of sand.
Given the height of the pile relative the wheelhouse,
a watchstander is positioned to maintain a clear view of the waterway.
Pushing this load is Mackenzie Rose,
Surprisingly, this load was headed for the Delaware River.
A decade ago, Mackenzie Rose was green and called Vernon C.
Back in June, I saw a similar load but on CMT Y Not 1 and towed by Daisy Mae.

Capt. Willie Landers last appeared here several years ago; she lost a substantial mast to gain an upper wheelhouse.
She came in during my favorite time of day.
She met Atlantic Sail off Stapleton.
Meredith left a barge alongside Orange Victoria and went on to other assignments.
Troy’s pride Sarah D moved a stone scow out past Jamaica Bay, as all her crew who could did work on deck.
Ava M waited for a ship as a sloop sailed past.
Daisy Mae headed out for Philly with CMT Y NOT 1 and a load
of non-ferrous scrap, maybe.
Sea Fox headed out to a job and met Bomar Caen coming into Brooklyn. Bomar Caen was previously CMA CGM Jaguar.

BW2M, being “backwards to Montreal” and here, it’s aggregate land. Once it was about coal and brick coming down river and into the systems…. long before my time…. but today it’s earth products moving both ways.
You can’t have the supertall buildings of 57th etc. or the new streets and bridges without rock.
Frances stands by as the crushed Catskill is conveyed in.
Two loaded Witte barges wait for a prime mover
with what appears to be slightly different cargoes.
Meanwhile, Mister Jim pushes a barge load of sand upriver for projects there.
I’m not sure the function of this equipment.
Doesn’t this look like southern New Jersey sand?
Cement moves out and
down bound, while
salt comes upriver to nearly salt country from the ocean.
Later, Frances arrives in the sixth boro with barges from two different locations for materials for projects in the dryland boros
