Here’s a new one, Stephen B with

James Joseph. I’ve not seen Stephen B with that barge in quite a while. Maybe I just have not been looking carefully.

Kristin Poling

is moving Eva Leigh Cutler. When we’re past the first of November, usually the number of barges increases, even if the outdoor temperatures are in the 70s.

Mister Jim, for the first time that I’ve noticed,

has a bunker barge, this one Richardson Sea, a Centerline Logistics barge.

Evelyn Cutler was moving a fully loaded Edwin A. Poling.


Genesis Eagle

had a deeply loaded GM 11103.

And finally for now, RTC 80

gets moved through the Kills with Kristy Ann.

It’s the season.

I wonder if the Kimberly crew has marked other holidays and I missed it. I did catch the red-clad guy almost a year ago.

Mary H and her barge Patriot is likely headed for Newtown Creek. The 1981 build, such a clean looking tug, has been working in the sixth boro for 33 years.

We’ve had a spate of foggy days. Beyond Franklin here, notice the bright lights at Bayonne Shipyard where work proceeds on Mendonca even at night.

The mechanical dredge J. P. Boisseau here gets moved to a new worksite by Sarah Ann, with Brian Nicholas standing by.

A Maersk ship came in recently with a gaggle of assist boats: l to r, Ava, Ellen, and Matthew. Not visible is Charles D. McAllister, and the visible Thomas J. Brown is not assisting.Yes, Matthew Tibbetts is doing a fair amount of ship assist work these days, and why not.

Here are two more photos of Matthew Tibbetts doing ship assist.
Helen Laraway passed through with a load of scrap.

Poling & Cutler’s Crystal and Evelyn pass in opposite directions.

HMS Justice has eluded my eyes for quite a while, but here she is, with the Centerline Logistics feline on the superstructure.

Stephen B heads light westbound about to pass under the Bayonne Bridge, as
Mary H, especially busy during the cold times of the year, pushes some petroleum product in the opposite direction. Soon leaves will decorate Shooters out beyond her. There’s a pool hall in Queens by the name Shooters, so to clarify, here are some Shooters history posts from way back.
Mr Jim moves some aggregates, also eastbound out of Newark Bay.
James D. nudges Dublin Express as needed into Howland Hook.
Eric and Capt. Brian A. assist a CMA CGM box ship.
Evelyn Cutler moves some petroleum along the supply chain.

Related: Let me reiterate Lee Rust’s question of a day or so ago: What is the current working estimate of operating tugs in NY’s sixth boro? For starters, I think it’s hard to count because of the dynamic, transient nature of traffic. Just ballparking it without breaking it down by company and enumerating, I’d say 75 at least. For consistency, let’s say we can count a tugboat as present if it shows up on AIS/VHF/traffic control at least once a month. I’d love to hear you estimates.
Here’s a different perspective on the sixth boro, different from my more usual ones. And in this morning light, Sarah Ann looks like a beauty as she heads somewhere past Robbins Reef Light and
well . . . along that island.
Let’s continue trying to get some different POVs. Patricia has some fine lines here accentuated by the low light of dawn.
Elk River and Hunting Creek pass, with missions in opposite directions.
Evelyn Cutler moves product for somewhere up the North River.
Paula Atwell moves garbage containers past an incoming green new shipment, and
Julie Anne, a new one for me in the sixth boro although I have posted a “down south” photo of her here, moves a scow up toward the Passaic River. Notice that until I got to the Norfolk tugs, there were no tugs with even a drip of red paint on them in this post?
And finally, Brian Nicholas is neither a huge nor a small tug, 72′ loa, but as she passes the stern of CMA CGM Nabucco, she
looks almost like a toy. My first reaction was excitement . .. erroneously thinking I’d see either the elusive Susan E. or Elizabeth Anna. But don’t get me wrong, greetings to Brian Nicholas!
All photos and sentiments here the product of and/or the opinion of Will Van Dorp.
Margaret shines “brightly” over by Fort Wadsworth.
Scott Turecamo transfers commodity over at the east end of Bayonne.
I think it is Miss Julia, but I still know nothing about her.
Of the Seaboats fleet absorbed into Kirby, Weddell Sea is the only one I see these days, and here she
gets assistance to the dock from Normandy.
Gracie M. was the newest Reinauer boat at least three boats ago.
With the ongoing renewal in the Reinauer fleet, Morgan must be among the oldest boats they operate.
And I’ll never forget an tempestuous morning when first I heard Evelyn‘s sound, when she was working as Melvin E. Lemmerhirt.
And that returns us to Margaret.

I sometimes refer to a golden hour, but recently I heard someone talk about the “blue” hour, when the sun is still or already below the horizon. The light is dramatic in both, or through that whole continuum, as seen here.
Fort McHenry heads east . . .
as does Amy Moran, who technically is moving later than the blue to gold but still enjoys the subdued light.
RTC 80 is pushed westbound by
Dace Reinauer.
Treasure Coast waits with its barge amidst the industrial landscape of IMTT.
Viking (sometimes pronounced “vikin“) moves toward the AK with DBL 134.
Buchanan 12 heads for the fuel dock.
Ruth M. Reinauer takes her barge to the AK as well.
Evelyn Cutler moves her barge to the west, and
fleet mate Kimberly Poling crosses the strait to tie up at Caddells.

Sheesh . . . someone forgot to sweep all the leftover letters from the garage floor after work.

For a 2015 coyote on ice, click here and scroll. If a coyote came up behind these critters right now,
there’d be movements in the cycle of life. Benjamin Moll took this amazing series of shots a few days back on the Hudson.
I was wondering whether these deer approach the open water to drink. Anyone conjecture?
I’m wondering . . . was there a whistle involved?
Many thanks for use of these photos to Benjamin Moll.
