Savannah Watershed 10

The photo below shows a vessel with a quite rare place of registry . . . Washington DC!  How often do you see that  on a stern?  More on that later.   These photos were taken about a week ago, and have since scattered to the seven seas.

Florida has an unusual wheelhouse although it has to have great upward views . . .

I was surprised to learn Balsa 87 was built in 2012, given its design and small size.

Bonny Island . . . offloading

salt?  Before Christmas it was in Savannah . . . now it’s–like me–is in the sixth boro.

Bright Hero has since moved from Savannah to New Orleans.

This one’s for bowsprite . . .  who sometimes is afflicted with the same type of misperception as I am . . .  Not surprisingly, this name has been given to many vessels, but this Ocean Pearl is currently departing Delaware Bay.

UASC Shuaiba has since traversed the Panama Canal!

And that DC-registed container ship . . . it entered Savannah escorted by Florida and

and –15 hours later–departed with Savannah as escort.

Washington Express . . . a great name.
