Sixth Boro Details 16

It’s not the best photo maybe, although–hey– it was the golden hour when B. E. Lindholm came into the boro recently.  They’ve been working along the east side of Sandy Hook.

Some small craft traffic the boro all seasons of the year.  I suspect this is going out fishing, but I’m not sure.

Daisy Mae here southbound along Newport . . .  in a clash of horizontal lines. 

This morning had Meaghan Marie, Eastern Dawn, and Evening Mist rafted up in Red Hook.

I’ve often seen David Auld Scudder on AIS, but not until the other day had I seen the boat,

diminutive beside Pegasus Star.

As have appeared here before, Millers Launch has a lot of small workboats like Erin Miller. 

Discovery Coast has been working a fair amount in the boro in recent weeks. 

Too distant to tell, but Twin Tube here is lifting new life rafts onto Nordic Harrier. 

Hayward dates from 1974, when the drift collection vessel came out of a Boston shipyard.

And there we’ll leave it.  All photos and any errors, WVD.

Newest Hull in the Sixth Boro 16

Tankers don’t usually dock here, and 

tankers of this size, Suezmax and 910′ x 157′ are not even the norm in the sixth boro.

I don’t know the story, but 

since she’s so light, I needed to get these close ups at

dawn.  

She’s sailed the oceans for less than a year since leaving a shipyard–don’t know which–of this company.  If she’s not the actual newest, she’s certainly among the newest, and since she’s the only Suezmax tanker in town, I’m certain she’s the newest Suezmax tanker in the sixth boro this morning. 

She’s exposing a lot of hull.

All photos, WVD.

Here are her fleetmates.
