Random Tugs 159

If you have a lot of free time, you can trace this back to the first installment.

These photos are all from the past week, starting out with Bouchard Boys, 1975.

Pelham, 1960.  Behind her is USNS Red Cloud.

Barney Turecamo (1995) and

 

Scott Turecamo (1998).

Eric R. Thornton (1960)

Jill Reinauer (1967) and Dace Reinauer (1968) with RTC 61.

Add Stephen-Scott (1967) and Ruth M. Reinauer (2008) pushing RTC 102.

 

Margaret Moran (1979) starting a backing-down of Heina with

James D. Moran (2015).  More on this backing down later this week.

Captain D (1974) with CVA-604.

Meagan Ann (1975)

Houma (1970).

Frances (1957) and I think I know the crewman forward of the house.

And finally, I put this photo here because of a boat in the background.  Is that Kristy Ann Reinauer (1962)?  I thought she was scrapped half a year ago already.  Hmm.

Other boats here are L. to r.) Realist, Kristy Ann, Hubert Bays, Long Splice, Samantha Miller, Stephen B, and Hunt Girls, which has been in the yard there for (?) two years now?

All photos by Will Van Dorp.

 

Random Tugs 108

All these fotos–except the ones identified as flashbacks–I took while resting yesterday.  The indomitable Helen Parker, intrepidly westbound among giants.  I believe she was last on this blog a year ago here.

I believe this is Coastline Bay Star.  If so, when did she get the reconfigured exhaust route?

Also squeezed between giants, James Turecamo, who has appeared on this blog possibly more than any other tugboat.   James was launched in greater Waterford, NY late in 1969.   Click here to see James tailing Caddell’s new drydock back in May.  More on this flashback later in this post.

Hunt Girls, which I haven’t seen in a while.

AT IMTT Bayonne Dean Reinauer and RTC 106, which appeared on this blog last week, configured differently.  Dean is so new that if you go back to that link with the foto of James tailing, you’ll see the upper house of a Dean which at that time had never yet floated!

Here are two flashbacks from Port of Albany last week . . .

as Dean spun around to head south.

Dorothy J eastbound yesterday morning

and as seen in mid-May 2013 . . . with her former name–Angela M–visible.

Arabian Sea‘s angular sides are mimicked  by the building in the distance.

Quenames heads out of the Kills pushing

Bunker Portland.

And check out the stack on St Andrews.  Maintenance or  . . . something more?

All fotos except for the flashbacks  . . .  Will Van Dorp took yesterday.
