Other Evergreen F-class vessels have called in the sixth boro. So can you be sure which one this is?
Justine McAllister had the port bow. Again, name that ship? I could just be pulling your leg with that title.
Yup, this is the now much-maligned Ever Forward.
I too have made the same jokes about ever backward, ever sideways . . . .
But here, as she rounds a sharp turn with assistance from Justine, Ellen, and Majorie B., I have to change my tune. No report has yet determined what caused the incident in the Chesapeake, and when that report comes out, whatever error caused the incident will lead to avoidance for next time. Who has not erred or operated a device that hasn’t erred?
Bravo, Ever Forward for rinsing off that mud and getting back to work. Fuel up and deliver those delayed boxes.
All photos and sentiments, WVD.
If you’ve never hung out at any of the public places on the KVK and you’re interested in tugboats or shipping in general, you are missing something.
The Upper Bay is a busy place also.
Faber Park is a great place when it’s open.
You get views of the Bayonne Bridge and the east side of city of Elizabeth from Faber Park.
Shooters Island, once a major shipbuilding site, shows up like a jungle now. Pres. Theo Roosevelt went there to shake hands with a foreign monarch who had a yacht built on Shooters.
Beyond Shooters, major port facilities can be seen.
For the past 22 years, Schuykill has been a Vane Brothers boat. When I saw the name on AIS, I assumed it was a new Vane boat.
Welcome to the sixth boro.
All photos in the past week, WVD.
There’s lots of lifting capacity here, but no towing or pushing capacity.
Philadelphia passes the Manhattan skyline solo.
From the west, Justine and Jonathan head for a job.
Magothy passes Helen Laraway, Cape Lookout, and Lois Ann L. Moran.
There’s a progression here . . . more tugboats in this photo than in the previous . . .
See the three guys . . .
here? I wonder who they are.
Yesterday a hearing had been scheduled in US Bankruptcy Court, and I suppose some report on that is forthcoming . . .
All photos, WVD.
A quick post today, since I’ll spend most of the day without computer, signal, or free time. The varied and unsettled weather of the recent weeks is evident here as well, the diverse days of summer.
Here are some of the usual workhorses or work oxen of the port.
Brendan Turecamo,
Normandy, and
Evening Breeze and a couple Bouchard barges. There must be a shortage of locations to stack the idle Bouchard fleet, still in limbo no matter what engrossing negotiation is happening behind closed doors in advance of July 23, according to this article.
Continuing with this threat, there’s Normandy and Pelham,
Fells Point,
Justine McAllister,
Marjorie McAllister with Bulkmaster,
Sea Lion and a sailboat under sail,
Brendan Turecamo
Kirby Moran and Miriam Moran,
Miriam and a fishing skiff,
and Kirby, James D., and Miriam, all Moran, and all following an incoming ship.
More soon . . . WVD.
Here was an unusual pair . . . within an hour of each other; Thor Confidence arrived,
escorted by Justine McAllister and
Capt. Brian A. . . .
and a bit later, a very light Thor Courage, escorted by Ava M. McAllister,
headed out for sea.
Built in 2009 and 2008, respectively, the two mostly identical 59000 dwt bulkers are part of the 20-vessel Thoresen fleet.
All photos, WVD, who may be miss a few days of posting . . . .
Here are some previous Sound posts. Recognize those buildings about 30 miles from my location?
How about this tug with a string of scows?
Yacht traffic in this location between Huntington and Stamford seemed to be in a hurry.
If you didn’t recognize this tug earlier you can’t miss the name now . . . Mister T is a Blount built boat from 2001.
How about this one? There aren’t many tugs in the area that look like this when the wheelhouse is hydraulically raised.
Here’s the skyline a few hours after the first photo, showing only midtown and up.
All photos from the Sound by WVD. That tug with raised wheelhouse was Justine McAllister, a 1982 product of Jakobson on Oyster Bay, one bay to the west from my vantage point on Sound Wave out of Huntington Bay.
