Larry J. Hebert has been in the boro a few months, following a GLDD dredging project. She’s from 1981 and rated at 3600 hp.
She headed eastbound in the KVK here with a fair amount of wire out, it seems to me.
Helen Laraway, light, heads west. She’s the oldster here, 1957, and 2000 hp.
Bergen Point, 1958 and 600 hp, heads east
and ducks behind an Evergreen ship.
Kristy Ann, the youngster in this batch, launched in 2018, and 4560 hp, left her barge in the anchorage and came in . . . to check in a the yard on Richmond Terrace.
James William, 2007 and 2800 hp, brings two light scows out of the Kills.
and gave the photographer, I believe, a friendly whistle.
Virginia passes by, the first time in an age that I’ve seen her. She’s from 1979 and generates 1400 hp.
And Genesis Vision makes an impressive turn in front of Caddells. She’s a 1981 boat with 3000 hp of push.
All photos, WVD, who is solely responsible for any errors.
2015 is the last year I saw the race; in the following years I was working and away. But 2015 Labor Day Sunday had beautiful weather.
Again, I’m not going to name each; you can read the names either on the boats or in the tags . . . and then match up. And in the photo above, the jetskis had no names, but I hope you noticed them.
I’ll make an exception for Sea Horse, the Linden-based Sea Scout boat. Click here for more info on the boat.
See Harvey back at the end of the line? It was 19 years ago that Harvey came out of retirement to assist when tragedy struck.
Both lead tugs here are nicely appointed with the colorful pennants.
Ellen certainly had the best matched “riding crew” that day.
Let’s hope the this race comes back in 2021.
All photos, WVD, whose fabulous ride was care of the NY Media Boat. If you’re looking for something to do, click on the link and book a ride.

James William travels toward Howland Hook.
James E. heads, no doubt, for the car float with rail cars awaiting it.
Stephen Dann heads in to get some fuel.
Emily Ann travels light toward the Upper Bay.
All photos from a socially-distanced, physically-isolated, seasonally-adjusted, pent-up energized, freely-masked, and emotionally-stale WVD.
How’s this as an unusual perspective, East Coast coming through the Narrows and under the VZ Bridge, barely visible at top of photo, with a sugar barge, not sure which one. I believe that’s a Sandy Hook antenna and West Bank Romer Shoal Light off starboard.
Kimberly Poling heads into the Kills past Robbins Reef Light.
James William has been moving garbage containers these days.
The intriguingly named Iron Wolf passes the Brooklyn Army Terminal.
Mary Alice moves Columbia New York.
A few hundred yards ahead of Iron Wolf is Sea Fox.
Andrea departs the Kills to pick up a fuel barge.
Mary H returns from a run with barge Patriot.
And finally, Fox3 heads southbound; that’s the southern tip of Manhattan behind her.
All photos, WVD.
CB is obviously “Chicago bound.”
Neither Thomas D. Witte nor Clearwater here off Mount Beacon is that, but we were.
Meagan Ann headed south with
used and abused cars on
SMM 157 for the start of their last trip.
James William pushed several loads of building materials southbound.
Rebecca Ann turned around for her next trip.
Lisa Ann worked on the bulk heading project in Troy.
Frances moved a scow south, and
Ancient Mariner too moved on.
All photos by will Van Dorp, and this was Newburgh to Troy.
It’s been a few months to do a sixth-boro look around here. Of course it’s never the same. Never. Not even from one day to the next. Let’s start with Weeks tug Elizabeth. If I’m not mistaken, this machine’s carried that name ever since it was launched in 1984.
James William has been a regular in the sixth boro the past five years or so, but she started as a Moran tug in 2007. Note the eerie fog around the base of the Staten Island-side bridge tower.
Choptank [which the pesky auto-correct insists should be spelled Shoptalk] passes in the foreground; Mary H in the distance. Choptank is back from several years in the Caribbean.
Paula Atwell is almost 20 years old, having started out as Crosby Express.
Northstar Integrity . . . quite the mouthful of syllables . . . seemed an unknown to me, until I realized I knew her as Petrel . . .
Not long ago I caught Marjorie at work on the Hudson down bound.
Mary Gellatly emerges from the fog.
Evening Star rests B. No. 250 at anchor with Brooklyn in the background.
Mister T heads for the mooring . . .
All sixth boro photos by Will Van Dorp, who has a backlog of so many collaboration photos that I might be alternating much-appreciated “other peoples photos” posts for a while.
First, thanks to Peter Eagleton, Philip T Feeney in the 1970s. I haven’t the heart to go see her in her current condition.
Next, Miss Ila, resplendent as a springtime cardinal!
Haggerty Girls nudging RTC 107 out of the Kills,
Helen Laraway passing TS Kennedy over by ConHook,
James William leaving Mister Jim over by the scows,
James E. Brown taking some rail cars past a wall of containers . . .
and finally . . . is that Durham setting up Willy Wall? Is that what it’s still called?
All photos by Will Van Dorp, except that first one supplied by Peter, whom I thank.
