Other Peoples Photos 82

After a number of “misfires” this past week, I’ve made some changes.

To inaugurate these new protocols, I’m pleased to share photos you’ve sent in.

First, from Great Lakes Mariner, a few photos of Cheyenne in her new Lake Michigan waters.  These photos were taken in Manitowoc, which some of you will recognize from the context.  Here is a post I did on the Manitowoc River.   Here‘s one of many from Sturgeon Bay.   William C Gaynor (1956) has spent her entire life on the Great Lakes.

See the patina red tug to the left is Erich.  You have seen that before here.

 

Next, from John Huntington back in March, Jaguar escorts the 1942 oyster schooner Sherman Zwicker to a berth in Gowanus Bay.  Notice Loujiane in the distance to the left, and I believe Highlander Sea foreground left.   Previously you’ve seen Jaguar here, here, and here.

And is that John D McKean to the far left?

Seeing parts of “US naval vessels to be” transiting the East River has long been common, but extralime recently caught Patrice McAllister doing the tow, now that Gateway Towing has disbanded.  One of the Gateway tugs that used to do this run is now called Meredith Ashton and is currently in Lake Michigan.

 

And finally, from tug Hobo, here is a much improved wheel from the one you saw in one of my posts from yesterday.

Many thanks to GL Mariner, John Huntington, extralime, and Donna at Hobo for these photos.

 

Random Tugs 172

I’m reprising this from Troy, and it’s Lisa Ann.  I believe she’s 2012 built.

Governor Roosevelt is almost a century older, and wears 1928 on her name board now. This is Marcy NY, an Oneida County town between Utica and Rome.

Also at Lock E20, here’s a clutch of boats and floats including BB152, an unidentified and in the process of being repainted tender, a dredge barge, and BB 142.

Tug Erie is there too. Anyone know when tug Erie was built?

Farther along is 1932 tug Seneca, formerly of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Inside the H. Lee White Maritime Museum in Oswego, here’s a model of a Catherine Moran.

Here’s what the label said, but according to birk’s site, she’s still alive and well under the assumed name of  Sherry D.   Anyone have photos of Sherry D out in the SF Bay area?

On the freshwater sea called Lake Ontario, it’s another tugboat from 1928, Karl E. Luedtke.

Tucked away in Silo City of Buffalo, it’s Daniel Joncaire II, about a year old.

In the Outer Harbor of Cleveland, it’s 1954 Duluth and fleet mate

1956 William C. Gaynor.

And here approaching the south end of the Detroit river, it’s 1982 tug Michigan pushing barge Great Lakes.

Go West Leg 9

Here’s the reference map;  leg 9 took us into Cleveland, where Federal Maas is in port.

William C. Gaynor was anchored on the west side of the Cuyahoga.

Eagle pushed a deck barge outbound.

A small boat analyzed the river, and

Iowa went by light.

A visit to William G. Mather was compulsory, of course.

I noticed where her anchor was cast.

And finally, Iowa towed in Alberta-registered Sea Eagle II moving St. Mary’s Cement II.
