Random Tugs 126

The sixth boro has pyramids?

It does have fortifications, here patrolled by Gelberman.

And lots of interesting names, making for great juxtapositions.

And every now and then some seldom seen boats pass like this one, always out there but rarely –it seems–coming in close.

Kendall J. Hebert for a closeup!

I regret I didn’t get a close-up of the stack.

Ron G rotates through the sixth boro now and then.

So . . . back to those pyramids, there’re over by South Amboy, at Amboy Aggregates.  Sand Master is involved, of course.

Thanks to Ashley Hutto for the pyramids and Sand Master photos.  All others by Will Van Dorp.

Crow languishes here in Port Newark.

A detail-impoverished foto of Manson Construction‘s hopper dredge Glenn Edwards along with tug Kendall J. Hebert.  Actually Samantha Miller is hiding in the haze near starboard stern of the dredge, anchored in Gravesend Bay.

Click here for a coloful foto of Kendall J. Hebert.

Some of the other boats I’ve seen recently are Susan E. Witte,

Katherine,  (Last summer I caught Katherine pulling a dredge scow in Morehead City, North Carolina)

Pati R. Moran, 

Ron G, which I first read as Rong.  Often she’s in Philadelphia.

Gabby L Miller,

Miriam Moran returning to base after retrieving the docking pilot,

And finally, a boat I’ve never seen before . . . Navigator.  Anyone know her story?  I took this foto Sunday morning.
