Bahamian Tugs

Thanks to my sister for sending these photos along from Nassau.  Amber Jack and fleet mates look to be in need of some work, but I am out of my depth here;  I’ve been unable to find little out about these boats.  I thought the rendering was unusual as well.

Snapper sports a different version of bow pudding.

 

If I’m not mistaken, that’s Atlantis in the distance.

From l to r here, they are Lady Holley, Tiki, and Turbot.  Is that upper platform of Turbot used for pilot transfers?

Maybe someone can help identify the age and provenance of these tugs that seem somewhat down at the heels.

Thanks, sister.

Oops . . . I “published” this prematurely and unintentionally if you saw it in disarray.  And by the way, today I saw the woodchuck and his shadow;  he saw mine and dove for cover.  I wonder if that means six more weeks of cold weather.  Please, someone advise.

From the wandering eye of Maraki . . . it’s in Nassau and

called Big Crab.  No further info.   I’ve never been to Nassau, and googling leads to me Nassau tugs on the bottom as well as someimpressive ones one the surface.  Maybe I need to get myself to Nassau.

And from a secret salt via Ashley Hutto . . . four days I saw Orange Sun depart the sixth boro here, he caught it inbound Tampa.  Thanks . . . salt.

Finally . .  from the jaunt captain Fred  of tug44, it’s what hibernates at the bottom of Lock 6 of the Champlain Canal . . . front to rear . . . HR Hawk, HR Beaver, HR Otter.  You’d think there’d be a woodchuck there too!

September 2013 I took this photo of a sibling of the hibernating tugs .  . HR Bass, assisted by Herbert P. Brake.    Interestingly, HR Bass used to be Delta Tiger, HR Hawk . . .  Delta Parrot, HR Otter . . . Delta Ram, and HR Beaver ???

. ..  Mr Lane.  I’ll bet you thought I’d say . . . Delta Woodchuck.

Many thanks to Maraki crew, secret salt, Ashley, and Fred.
