Jeremy Whitman took this photo of the big blue Konecranes #38 crane. Tail boat is Candace Elise, prior to 2015 known as Stephen Dann, as here. OXBO is managing the transport.
They departed Manitowoc a week or so ago and are now in a very wide portion of the Saint Lawrence, downstream from Gaspé Peninsula. Manitowoc, among other things, is the western terminus of SS Badger.
Jake Van Reenen took this photo as they passed Clayton. Molly M I has replaced Candace Elise. The barge supporting the barge is Cashman Equipment Corp.’s JMC 253, with dimensions of 250′ x72′ x16′ deck barge.
René Beauchamp got this shot –and more on FB Seaway News-Voie maritime Infos–of the tow. His vantage point over the South Shore Canal portion of the Saint Lawrewnce Seaway was the Cartier Bridge. ETA for the tow at the mouth of the Piscataqua and Kittery ME is June 17. I look forward to photos from there.
Harry McNeal moved deck barge 1962 with crane away from the IMTT docks the other day,
Face on, the crane appeared to be straight up.
Allan Seymour caught this Denali with tank barge DBL 104 upbound on Penobscot Bay yesterday. If I have the right number, DBL 104 has a capacity is just over 105,000 barrels.
I spotted Paul Andrew with the recycling scow DS 171 heading for the Arthur Kill.
The destination for this is PS&S/Visy Paper.
Erich A. caught Emery Zidell up the Hudson in the notch of 83,000 bbl tank barge Dr. Robert J. Beall.
James Turecamo meets the Centerline unit up in the scenic Hudson River below Albany.
And I saw Eastern Dawn aka Toula pushing two
mini-barges.
The minis, one at a time, carry dredge spoils from the depths of Gowanus Canal. Prior to this project, I’d never seen mini barges, or scows.

Unrelated, the highest bid for tug Grouper as of this morning is $26.00.
I’m always excited to see something new, even if I almost miss it . . . like Wachapreague. I chased it here, but interminable stop lights, slow drivers . . . grr. But enough of me. Wachapreague was in the sixth boro the other day, of the newest class of Vane ATBs. She’s 110′ x 38′ and powered by two QSK-60M generating 4400hp.
Follow up on John Joseph . . . photo by Ben Moll, she’s almost completely made over.
These two photos of Paul Andrew and scow . . . demonstrate directionality of dawn light. This one was west of me at 0538, and this
east . . at 0541. Being out in the morning is not just about comfortable temperatures.
Harry McNeal is a sixth boro fixture in marine construction, but at 53′ x 18′,
she’s easy to miss, as demonstrated here alongside Linda Moran (116′ x 36′) and Houston.
Cape Canaveral, with its evocative name for anyone who came of age in the brief US space era, is another fairly new vessel in the sixth boro.
She comes in at 105′ x 36′ and 5000′.
Two Bouchard units waited in Grabesend the other day . . .
Denali bunkered intriguingly-named Eco California.
Another shot of Wachapreague eluding me . . . is a good place to end.
Many thanks to Ben for the John Joseph photo. All others by WVD.
Denali arrived in the sixth boro for the first time about three years ago, and I compared her with a fleet mate here. I believe that fleet mate is now scrapped.
If you’ve never seen a tug out of the water, here’s a sense of that. I’ve done other “dry hulls” photos, as you can see here. These photos of Denali come from Mike Abegg.
A lot of traffic passes through the East River, like Foxy 3 here.
That appears to be a scrap barge, a commodity that gets concentrated along the creeks and in ports along the Sound.
Buchanan 12 must earn its owners a lot of money; it seems always to be moving multiple barges of crushed rock . . .
Curtis Reinauer here heads for the Sound pushing
an 80,000 barrel barge, if I’m not mistaken.
All photos, WVD.
Guess the unit below here and
here? Lots of similarities, and the one below was less than 10 minutes behind the one above, both westbound the Kills.
A and
B. Guess now?
a is Viking pushing DBL 134.
B is new to the sixth boro, here pushing DBL 103.
New York and
New Orleans….
Viking, built in 1976 and powered at 4300 hp, is 132′ x 34′ and here pushing DBL 134, built in 1986, with capacity of 136k barrels.
Denali, built in 2010 and powered at 5000 hp, is 115′ x 36′ and here pushing DBL 103, built in 2005, with capacity of 101k barrels.
