Random Tugs 139

This might be the “newest-named” boat in the harbor, although you’ve seen Genesis Victory here before as Huron Service both with blue trim and orange.

Laura K Moran first appeared on this blog back in 2008 here, as the sixth boro’s newbie.

I’m not sure the story here, but Laura K holds station off the stern of MSC Sariska, who still has the hook down.

Brian Nicholas and Evening Mist head out on assignment.

Here’s an entire post I devoted to Brian Nicholas over four years ago.

For a frontal view of Evening Mist, click here and scroll.

Here Miriam Moran escorts Hoegh Inchon.  ROROs’ cargo is quantified not in teus, but ceus, and Inchon is a 21-year-old floating parking lot with 4300-car equivalent capacity.

Maryland and Franklin Reinauer meet, with missions taking them in opposite directions.

And with Red Hook we end.

Happy springtime, like it was in the photo below, showing Huron Service about seven LONG years ago.

Unrelated:  The post about the documentary Graves of Arthur Kill seems to be getting a lot of attention the past few days.  Gary Kane and I can always figure out a time when one or both of us could do a screening for a group you put together.
