A decade ago, the split-hulled trailing suction hopper dredger Atchafalaya was in the sixth boro.  These days in 2023 the 1980 vessel in the St. Johns River of the Alligator and Sunshine State.  I don’t believe it actually worked in the sixth boro.

The west side walkway made for a lot of photography on my part in spring 2013, like Asian King here making the turn at Bergen Point with assist from Gramma Lee T Moran. The 1998 RORO today goes by Liberty King and is located between Hokkaido and Honshu.  Gramma Lee is working in san Juan these days.

Evening Tide is currently in chrysalis state in Brooklyn. 

Pretty World had to be “dead-ship assisted” into port 10 years ago.  The assist tugs (l to r) are Margaret Moran (I think), Marion Moran, and Gramma Lee.  The 2007 tanker now goes by a much more prosaic Central and is in port off Ivory Coast. Marion Moran is now Dann Marine’s Topaz Coast

No comment needed on this tale of two cities.

Maersk Ohio is currently in Norfolk. 

The US-flagged Maersk ship is assigned on the northern Europe run. 

Superior Service is now Genesis Vision, currently in Lake Charles LA.

The 1971 Fred Johannsen, usually mostly up the Hudson, came down in April 2013 to do-si-do back upriver with Taurus, now Hay’s Joker

Ellen McAllister is still Ellen McAllister.  But from this angle, a proto-drone view from the Bayonne Bridge, she appears more rotund than I usually imagine. 

Marion Moran focuses on giving the 1996 HanJin San Francisco an extra amount of shove to round Bergen Point. I believe 4024 teu container ship has been scrapped. 

And finally, North Sea is now Sause’s Kokua, now working around Maui.

All photos, any errors, WVD, who loves these opportunities to look back at all the changes that have transpired. 

After these were taken down  from along the paths of Central Park eight years ago, it was reported they were “industrially recycled.”  I’d not til now thought to ask what recycled meant, but yesterday I saw this:
