I’ve thought about using this title quite often, and I surely have a lot of candidates, my personal ones, to include here.
Know the tug(s) from the photo below? Really the most seldom seen is the nearer one, the one with escape ropes mounted on either side of the wheelhouse egresses.
Pacific Dawn I last saw over six years ago here. She tends to follow dredging projects, which might possibly have brought her in the other day.
I’ve seen Delta a lot on AIS, but I believe I should consider her a “never seen” by me. So voila!
Here she passes the seldom seen Ypapanti and the some to be no longer seen Pilot No. 1 New York. I could be wrong about the last part of that statement.
Delta also tends to follow dredging projects, it seems to me.
Have your own “seldom seen”? Let me know. All photos here in the past week, WVD.
First time photo of this tugboat underway . . . Stephen B pushing James Joseph. AND first time photo on this blog by Glen Dauphin, whose work I have admired on FB.
If I’m not mistaken, this is the same tug–previous name–and sans upper wheelhouse. I took the photo on New Years Day.
Haggerty Girls and RTC 107, with an assist from Matthews Tibbetts . . . getting underway.
Franklin Reinauer pushing past . . .
Kimberly Poling with Edwin A. Poling, no doubt headed up to where the ice is thicker.
Eric McAllister precedes her.
And finally Pacific Dawn . . .
. . . coming in from Gravesend Bay, where . .
can anyone explain what part of the gas project–if any–they’ve been working on just off Coney Island’s western tip?
Thanks much to Glen for the first photo above. All others by Will Van Dorp.
LNYBL? Gulf of Mexico? North Sea? Persian Gulf? No . . . it’s Lower NY Bay, and these days it’s populated with unusual equipment.
That’s a spudded jackup barge holding Weeks 751, and off to the right, it’s an exotic
called Michael Lawrence. And I’m betting the working is happening in the same place DSV Joseph Bisso was operating about a half year ago.
Two other tugs tending the work barge Bisso D/B Boaz are Pacific Dawn 1974 (ex-Pelican Magic) –above and below–and
Smith Invader (2006).
And what’s going on is the LNYB Rockaway Lateral Project, a three-mile connection between Brooklyn and the existing offshore pipeline. A closer-up map can be found here. Anyone know how long ago the existing Transco pipeline went in?
More details of the deal here.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who’s off the Canal for at least another day and a half.
