Other Peoples Photos 100

Let’s start with a photo by John “Jed” Jedrlinic, one of Alp Forward, currently off the eastern Scottish coast. She’s a 213′ x 61′ anchor handling tug from 2007  with over 200 tons bollard pull.

From there, let’s go to the Connecticut in US coast and some local boats with 

some Seakite by PanGeo Subsea gear aboard. I’d love to see what this package projects onto a screen. 

Both Berto L. and Josephine K Miller were up at Lew’s port earlier this spring.

GO Pursuit, fleet mate of GO America, called in there also. “GO” expands to Guice Offshore. 

The reminder of photos here come in the past days from Tony A, starting here with Deborah Quinn. 

He caught her several times in the East River, and here  

with an unidentified covered barge.   In the photo above, the Taco Cina sign intrigues me. 

In roughly the same stretch he passed Brinn Courtney, whom I’ve yet to see.

And finally, he noticed Nicholas Vinik doing the do si do with Sea Monster, moving her over near the Sandy Hook Pilots station.  I’m not sure what that means about Sea Monster.  Anyone know?  

Many thanks to Jed, Lew, and Tony A for sending along these photos. 

Meanwhile, the robots are still doing their unmonitored best at tugster tower while WVD is in the lowland of alligators, shrimp, sugar, fleur de lis and beaucoup de plus for an unspecified time.

 

Invisible Gold 1

What is this?

How about a little more of the same shot?  Now can you guess?  Cashman is a familiar New England company .  . . but that tug, Todd Danos, is not exactly a name known in these parts.

Have you figured out the location?  Dace Reinauer and Senesco are the best clues here. Of course, this is the Narragansett Bay.

Weeks tugs Robert and

Elizabeth sometimes work in the sixth boro . . . as here in June 2012.

“Invisible gold” is the term used at the event below–subject of tomorrow’s post.  The speaker to the right is Jeffrey Grybowski, CEO of Deepwater Wind, the project to place wind turbines in +70′ of water southeast of Block Island.  It’s happening now, and all the photos in this post–except the one below–were taken in July and early August by Nate Lopez.

And providing supply and crew support to get “steel in the water” are Rosemary Miller and

Josephine K. Miller.

Again many thanks to Nate for these photos.  More on this project in tomorrow’s post.

 

 

Sixth Boro Movers

. . . I haven’t figured out what the shakers are yet.  But of course, people are the primary movers, even for movers of people like Martha’s Vineyard Express.

There are silt movers like Stuyvesant.

And of course all manner of movers of fluids to be respected like Loya and

Red Hook and

Orange Blossom.

There are movers of boxes like Vega and

Josephine K. Miller, who can do local moves for cargo boxed or bundled or . . .  other.

There could be a category of movers of movers like this and

direct movers and

indirect ones.

Maybe I should spend some time today trying to figure out who the shakers are.  All photos recently by Will Van Dorp, who was being given a tour of traffic in San Francisco Bay and noticed this interesting assemblage of names of movers.

 

Sixth Boro Spring Signs 2015

As you know, today is the first full day of spring, and this morning roar man looked like this.

My neighborhood looked like this, and

a local shipyard looked like this, with snow obscuring the name entirely or

partly.

But lest you think I’m glum  . . . my day blossomed as soon as I saw

this . . . juices–at least orange juice–flowing, infusing by the ton into the port.  And this . . .

new life–at least a vessel new to me in the sixth boro.  Welcome Josephine K. Miller.

And you guy below and friends, you gotta go.

All photos by Will Van Dorp. Snow obscured tug is of course Little Toot, only recently employed in North river icebreaking.
