Sterling Equipment’s Miss Yvette carries what has to be the most vivid red I’ve ever seen.
And in that mist, the red
seems lit from within.
Well . . . starboard side to us, I see green.
Miss Ila, Jay Michel, and Lynx all carry that same distinctive red.
For the two photos directly above, many thanks to Lew. The top three come from Will Van Dorp.

This is the 98th installment of this title. If you’ve any ideas about what I might do with the 100th, let me know. Of course, I could just let it pass by . . . randomly.
All these boats have some things in common, like . .. they passed through the sixth boro although in all types of weather/light in the past week or so. I’l let you know what I’m thinking at the end of the post.
Miss Yvette, 1975 built in Houma, Louisiana (LA), here attending to Kraken.
Freddie K Miller, 1966 . . . Madisonville LA.
John P Brown 2002 Morgan City LA
Atlantic Salvor 1976 New Orleans.
James Turecamo 1969, Waterford NY.
Pegasus 2006 Tres Palacios TX
Pathfinder 1972 Houma LA
C. Angelo 1999 Lockport LA
Margaret Moran December 1979 Morgan City LA
Miriam Moran November 1979 Morgan City LA
And another thing they all have in common right now is that
they all work in trades other than directly pushing oil.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, who’d love to hear ideas about the “Random Tugs 100” post.
Unrelated: I read this line yesterday about a withdrawn lawsuit between the NY Port Authority and a Canadian steel company: “The deal means the lawsuit will be dropped and the steel for the [World Trade Center] tower antenna can set sail before Canadian shipping channels freeze over in winter.” Here’s the rest of the article. But it made me wonder . . . by what vessel . . . barge or ship . . . will this steel arrive in the Upper Bay. Anyone know? Here’s info on the fabricator of the antenna.
And a Q . . . has anyone seen evidence of construction of the crane(s) to be involved in the Bayonne Bridge raising? I’ve heard rumors, but not read or heard anything authoritative.
Another close-up of the mystery tug . . .
Thanks to Harold E. Tartell, who suggests it might be a transformed Miss Yvette (his foto) with “after house” removed and some adjustments of paint . . .
Here’s the entire tow . . .
and sure enough, as some of you suggested, the name of this construction company, Kiewit, appears at the tip of the crane . . .

as promised . . . Allie B, eastbound on the East River, out of Tampa and ex-Express Explorer, Janet Graham.
Below it’s Lucky D, out of Chesapeake, VA, southbound in Arthur Kill.
Pushing lots of foam is Miss Yvette, westbound on the East River and out of Bourne, MA.
Captain Zeke, ex-Island Eagle and Lady Ora, out of landlocked Syosset, NY.
And finally, in familiar green-white-black colors, the unfamiliar Kimberly Poling.
At this link, check out this closeup of Kimberly Poling showing the back of a nameboard that reveals her previous identity, Jaguar. See the portside nameboard. As you might suspect from the color scheme, Kimberly is the niece of the generation that includes John Caddell, Coral Queen, and Kristin Poling, all featured previously. Use the search window.
