If it seems I have a dirty lens, I don’t, but this winter has been a season of the good light and my schedule not coinciding. No matter . . . the subject just looks grayer than I’d like much of the time.
When this ULCV arrived the other day with Mary Turecamo as one of the assists, I was reminded of how high the deck is on these ships, and they’re getting ultra-larger and higher. In this post, Mary’s upper house was way above deck level on the tanker.
Will this nose be superseded by Marco‘s style of nose?
Janet D was sharp, but note how hazy the distant shore is.
HMS Liberty is appreciably closer than Barney Turecamo, and therefore is sharper, until
Barney gets closer.
Enjoy these others: Jillian Irene,
Horizon’s Edge (a newby in the boro?) and Regulus,
Schuylkill,
another shot of Liberty,
Crystal Cutler and Patricia E. Poling,
and finally Margaret.
All photos, WVD.
Quick post today with sights around the boro . . . like Morgan Reinauer
and James William
and Alex McAllister
and Ava M.McAllister and
Janet D and
Fort Schuyler and
Brinn Courtney and
Ivory Coast. Note these last two mark the October awareness.
All photos, my hat tip, WVD.
Janet D, product of 2015, comes in a 67′ x 26′.
Ellen McAllister, the oldest here launched in 1967, measures 102′ x 29′.
Marjorie B McAllister, from 1974, is bigger than I imagined . . . 112′ x 30′.
The two McAllister tugs were heading to assist tanker Sakura Belle, 26960 dwt contained within 558′ x 88′, launched in 2011.
Janice Ann Reinauer, the newest tugboat here, came off the ways in 2020. She measures 113′ x 35′.
And finally, doing dredge spoils runs, we have Douglas J, 2004, 110′ x 38′ and
Atlantic Enterprise, 1976, and the largest tugboat in this post, measuring 136′ x 40′.
All photos, this week, WVD.
Random and quick for now . . . the 2015 Janet D makes her way across the Bay.
The 1974 Marjorie B. McAllister moves its car float float from NJ to NY.
The 1996 Martin Explorer and her barge has been in town at least once before here a little over a half year ago.
And finally, the 2012 Jordan Rose came into the sixth boro for the first time as Evening Star a decade ago.
Here‘s a post from five years ago when Evening Star was still painted in red and yellow.
All photos this week, WVD.
The Hudson treats the traveler with magical sights like these. The castle atop the lush riverbank is still there, but that tug–Viking–is no more. I’m not sure the disposition of DBL 134.
One morning soon after sunrise that summer 2017 I followed Delaware a ways up the Hudson before overtaking her.
Ernest Campbell had started working in the sixth boro by 2018, but its livery has changed since then.
On the last day of June, I took a ride on the Rondout and saw (l to r) Johannsen Girls, Fells Point, and Severn. Severn now works in the Pacific Northwest although still for Vane.
Tarpon was working in the boro, but since that time has been sold to interests on the West Coast, although I’m not sure she’s made it there.
In June 2019, I caught Stephen Reinauer heading out the Narrows to rejoin its barge;
North of the border, SLS aka Sheri Lynn S was tied up at a Picton ON dock.
June 2020 one morning, I spotted Kirby Moran meeting ONE Minato, and
Janet D returning to her Elizabethport base.
In June 2021, it’s Charles D passing Adventurer while standing by for an incoming ship.
And finally, Sarah D was eastbound here in the Kills.
All photos, WVD, who may have made some errors here with dates, having had his brain baked in the Louisiana heat.
Dace lighters STI Excel.
Neptune comes into town again.
Buchanan 12 makes a rare appearance light, but everyone needs to refuel periodically.
Janet D follows Seeley into the Kills.
How a bout a four’fer . . . counter: Marjorie, Kristin Poling, Nicholas, and Jordan Rose.
Sea Lion heads eastbound.
B. Franklin travels west, and
Discovery Coast, east. . . both light.
Nathan G moves a deep scow into the Kills with Cape Wrath lurking in the background.
Traffic never stops, and it’ll outlast me, the photographer, WVD.
It should be no secret that I’m an early riser, have always been one to get up in the “o’dark” hours for the morning golden hour, the best time of day. Here are two Miller’s Launch OSVs, possibly Rana and Rosemary.
A bit later on a different day, I caught Dylan Cooper westbound, with another Reinauer unit off in the distance.
Janet D headed into that same morning, here eastbound.
Ditto . . . Charles D McAllister and
Mary Turecamo. In fact, in the photo below, you see all three. Did you get the golden hour this morning?
All photos, WVD, who thinks this morning’s overcast skies here blocked any gold.
“Random Tugs 001” I posted in October 2007, 14 years ago. The motivation for such a post then, as now, comes from the observation that what passes you by, either on the water, the roadway, or even the sidewalk or hallway, is often just random. It’s foolish to look for meaning or significance where there is none. So here’s installment 339.
Genesis Glory, 1979, 3900 and 120′ x 34′
Janet D, 2015, 1320, and 67′ x 26′
Sarah D, 1975, 2000, and 90′ x 29′
HMS Justice, 2013, 2000, and 75′ x 30′
Sarah Ann, 2003, 2700, and 78′ x 26′
Charles D. McAllister, 1967, 1800, and 94′ x 29′
Durham . . . I’ve seen her a long time, I believe she’s operated by Ken’s Marine, but I don’t know anything more.
Kodi with Hayward back by the bridge. Kodi dates back to 1974, under 500, and 43′ x 15′, I think.
L. M. Caddell works near the floating dry docks. The upper wheelhouses at the Reinauer yard in the background, I’d guess Dace, Stephen, and JoAnne III. I’m sure I’ll be corrected. I don’t believe the shorter “upper house” to the right is installed on a tugboat. Now I’m really sure I’ll be corrected. As for simple specs on the Caddell yard tug . . . sorry.
Coho, 2008, 4000, and 111′ x 36′
All photos, WVD, and happy “fly the official flag day.“
Enjoy more late afternoon photos here . . . like Alexandra, passing in front of a number of cranes, both on the water, near the water, and atop buildings.
Ava transits the Con Hook Range, with three East River bridges in the background.
Miriam heads in the direction of the Bayonne Bridge, with two Arthur Kill bridge and the Linden refinery in the background.
Janet D with a crane barge passes here in front of a lower Manhattan, and a reprise of those cranes.
Brian Nicholas here brings DS159 eastbound for a refill.
Ellen McAllister weaves between KVK vessels on its way to a job.
Gulf Coast transits the KVK in front of Sailors Snug Harbor, with cranes at Caddells defining points in the western sky.
And to close, it’s Calusa Coast with barge Delaware, recently returned from five or so years in the Great Lakes. Note the Statue, the south end of Ellis Island, and the Jersey City wall of buildings in the distance.
All photos, WVD.
The first boat I saw in the morning fog was buff and green . . . Meaghan Marie, moving what appeared to be a Cashman spud barge.
Meeting her was Vane’s Philadelphia. I’m curious . . . do any readers have a photo of a Vane unit operating on thew Great Lakes or arriving there via the Saint Lawrence?
I could hear Shannon Dann‘s EMDs throbbing as she moved Weeks 105.
Pathfinder moved light trash containers to a marine transfer station.
A light Treasure Coast headed from Duraport to the Upper Bay.
Seeley pushed sand scow Weeks 250 eastbound.
As the sun started to burn through the morning clouds, Janet D made her way to a job.
Pegasus returned from a job, out ahead of two Moran assist tugs.
St. Andrews got underway from the Centerline dock.
Brendan headed off to an assist.
And just as I needed to leave, Franklin showed up to assist Gracie out of her dock.
All photos, WVD.
