A decade ago, the split-hulled trailing suction hopper dredger Atchafalaya was in the sixth boro. These days in 2023 the 1980 vessel in the St. Johns River of the Alligator and Sunshine State. I don’t believe it actually worked in the sixth boro.
The west side walkway made for a lot of photography on my part in spring 2013, like Asian King here making the turn at Bergen Point with assist from Gramma Lee T Moran. The 1998 RORO today goes by Liberty King and is located between Hokkaido and Honshu. Gramma Lee is working in san Juan these days.
Evening Tide is currently in chrysalis state in Brooklyn.
Pretty World had to be “dead-ship assisted” into port 10 years ago. The assist tugs (l to r) are Margaret Moran (I think), Marion Moran, and Gramma Lee. The 2007 tanker now goes by a much more prosaic Central and is in port off Ivory Coast. Marion Moran is now Dann Marine’s Topaz Coast.

No comment needed on this tale of two cities.
Maersk Ohio is currently in Norfolk.
The US-flagged Maersk ship is assigned on the northern Europe run.
Superior Service is now Genesis Vision, currently in Lake Charles LA.
The 1971 Fred Johannsen, usually mostly up the Hudson, came down in April 2013 to do-si-do back upriver with Taurus, now Hay’s Joker.
Ellen McAllister is still Ellen McAllister. But from this angle, a proto-drone view from the Bayonne Bridge, she appears more rotund than I usually imagine.
Marion Moran focuses on giving the 1996 HanJin San Francisco an extra amount of shove to round Bergen Point. I believe 4024 teu container ship has been scrapped.
And finally, North Sea is now Sause’s Kokua, now working around Maui.
All photos, any errors, WVD, who loves these opportunities to look back at all the changes that have transpired.
Low bridge, lower air draft, refrigeration box on the cargo area, hand cart loaded with boxes . . . that’s how your food and drink must be delivered in Venice. Notice in white letters forward on the reefer box . . . “order and delivery” in Italian.
Here are two more such cold delivery boats.
As to the green groceries . . . you pick what you want from the shelves of this boat. Bumboats they’d be in some places. Parlevinkers in other places. I’m not sure what they call the boats at floating markets on the Mekong, or what the Italian word for these is . . . .
Then there are the water buses and taxis.
And if I’m not mistaken, this is the dock that provides transport between the Marco Polo Airport and town. Note the luggage. Also, note the location of the radar.
And where there’s people, law enforcement is needed as well. The photo below comes thanks to Tommy Bryceland.
All other photos come thanks to Jonathan Steinman.
And I truly need to plan a trip to Venice, along with lots of other places.
