Here were the previous in this series.
The first three photos here come from John “Jed” Jedrlinic, whose previous contributions can be found here.
Coral Coast is a venerable 3000 hp 45-year-old, like some others I know, although they might not see all that horsepower as complimentary.
photo date 8 FEB 2011
Katherine, same horsepower, is nine years newer.
photo date 8 FEB 2011
This Michael S is based in Port Canaveral, where Jed took this photo.
photo date 4 MARCH 2011
Harry Thompson, whose previous contributions include this one, sent this along of Russell 11 (I believe that’s eleven, not two) compliments of his brother. Does anyone know Russell 11‘s years of service?
And the rest of these come from Barrel, who has sent along many others I will share this month.
Tug Bay Hawk dates from 1942. Thanks to Birk’s site, here’s some info on her.
Here’s Crowley’s Ensign on the Delaware River, 7200 horsepower. Here and here are tugster posts of similar Crowley tugs. In the distance, that looks like a Vane Brothers tug.
Teresa McAllister, 1961, was most recently on tugster here.
And to close out today’s post, it’s Tenacious, now a 55-year-old freshwater tug.
Many thank to Jed, Harry, and Barrel for these photos.
Many thanks for use of these photos, all taken about seven years ago, to Barry Petersen. Vessels are: Bayridge Service, Eileen Roehrig and barge Houston on delivery, Tenacious, Barbara Andrie, Samuel de Champlain, H. H. Misner, Commodore Straits, and Techno St. Laurent.
Here was 17. Click here or use the search window on the left to revisit all the posts in this series. All photos in this post come from my sister currently in the Gulf of Paria, off Trinidad, a place calling me . . I feel it!
This isn’t the only tug named Tenacious, but look at the rest of the fleet here. It looks like Culloden started life as Chindit.
I can’t identify the vessel over near shore.
The orange vessel in the distance is Ramform Atlas, a truly usual design, as wide as it’s long; you have to look at the images in that link earlier in this sentence. No matter how functional Ramform is, to someone too long at sea, seeing this approach, it would truly seem a hallucination.

To the left . . . Marfret Marajo operates for a company I’ve not heard of. To the right, in unmistakeable ECO colors, it’s Edison Chouest!
Many thanks to my sister and brother-in-law for these pics and for planting the idea of gallivanting off to the Golfo de Paria . .. soon.
