Here are previous iterations of this title. Sometimes it’s energizing to return to places you’ve not visited in a while. We followed North River for a bit and then turned into
the Brooklyn Navy yard, a quite busy place. Sugar Express was there along with Carolina Coast. The barge shuttles less-refined sugar from Florida to Yonkers, where the sugar is further refined at a riverside facility.
Atlantic Salvor was in one of the graving docks.
Once under way again, we followed Genesis Eagle heading for the Sound.
North River was docked at DEP Ward’s Island Central (actually WPCP) by the time we passed by.
NYC Department of Correction Vernon C. Bain Maritime Facility was still where I last saw it, the only traffic being who goes in and out.
Ditto this wreck, which deserves a name or a series of ex-names, where the only traffic is the ingress and egress of tidal current water.
All photos this week, WVD.
A new assist boat in town bringing 3800 hp to the job?
Right . . . I was kidding. It’s Jones Act non-compliant anyhow.
Genesis Eagle is a 6140 hp pin boat.
JRT Moran and Capt. Brian McAllister do an assist of an ULCV.
Pegasus gives Mount St. Elias an assist as it moves DBL 82 out of IMTT bound for New Haven.
Andrea gives HMS Liberty an assist as it delivers a bunker barge to Port Elizabeth.
Miriam Moran delivers a pilot to the ship.
Mary Turecamo assists a container ship.
Doris waits for a job to approach in the Upper Bay,
and finally, Kirby Moran moves in closer to an incoming ship.

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.

Angelina Autumn . . . that’s not a common sixth boro boat . . .
so of course I needed to go check her out as she entered the Narrows yesterday with a deck barge headed for Coeymans NY.
Arriving with Angelina Autumn was Shannon Dann,
towing a huge Weeks crane. I did not get an ID on the crane. Neptune was in the procession also, but it was miles back and I had other places I needed to be.
Genesis Eagle had GM 11103 alongside a tanker.
Josephine came in from sea with
RTC 83.
Lois Ann L. Moran departed the Narrows
bound for Philly with the barge Philadelphia.
Anacostia headed out as well with
with Double Skin 510A.
I should know but am just guessing . . . Nicole Leigh Reinauer alongside Energy Centaur over by the Sandy Hook Pilots’ station.
All photos, WVD.
Want to check out Random Tugs 001? The 001 got added more recently than 2007 because back then, I had no idea I’d go on. In the 2007 photo, might that be Mary Turecamo along with the Reinauer tugs, which are also still at work operating out of the sixth boro. The other morning Mary Turecamo was assisting MSC Maria Elena . . . . The tugboat has always been known by that name.
The many times renamed and reconfigured Brooklyn approaches from . . .. Brooklyn. I first saw her as Labrador Sea.
Brendan Turecamo, also renamed a number of times, takes the back channel out the Kills. That’s Bayonne in the background and a crane in Port Elizabeth beyond that.
Catching Genesis Eagle out of the notch is a treat. The third photo here shows a photo of the same boat as Eagle Service in roughly the same place a decade ago, although I was catching the opposite perspective.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen this particular Mary Gellatly moving around the sixth boro, but here she is, and I recognize the man with a camera between the wheelhouse and the stacks.
She was previously Vernon C, as in the top two photos here.
Dory is another boat that has changed hands and names and appearances. See her here . . . if you scroll.
Dory appears to be working with a Harley barge alongside a ship, bunkering ? . . . Kitikmeot W.
And let’s conclude with one of the newest boats in the harbor . . . Ava M McAllister, here returning from escorting a c-ship out toward the Narrows. Click here for photos from her christening half a year ago.
All photos, Will Van Dorp.
Seeing a tugboat on a mooring in the sixth boro is unusual, in my experience, and I took many shots. This is my favorite.
Neptune the other morning headed for sea along the sylvan banks of Staten Island.
James E. Brown moves a scow, likely to be filled with scrap metals.
Brian Nicholas travels to a job . . . that’s New Jersey off her starboard.
JRT Moran crosses the Upper Bay enroute to an assist.
Genesis Eagle travels along Brooklyn’s Owl’s Head.
One almost has the illusion here that Emily Ann is on assist with that tanker. Almost.
Mister Jim lighters salt
from SBI Phoebe.
Sea Lion heads out of her base to grab . . . a recycling barge perhaps.
And Atlantic Salvor continues shuttling dredge spoils from somewhere off the bottom of the North River.
