Just a photo essay, Vane tugs and barges in the KVK through all the daylight hours today.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
To continue on from yesterday’s list . . . I’ve done chugster, jetster, even a gangster . . . though you have to search for it here by scrolling a bit, but the blog is called tugster, and I’m proud of that some chuckles notwithstanding . . . .
This is a cross section for the 250th time, a random sampling of what tugboats were working in the Upper Bay of NYC aka the sixth boro on a given morning earlier this week. By the way, the 001 version of this title dates from October 2007.
Vane Brothers boats and barges abound.
Hunting Creek stands by a set of four of them, while
Wye River travels light past the ferry racks.
Franklin Reinauer travels light past the count-defying load of containers on a ULCV over in Global.
ATB Freeport and Chemical Transporter transfer cargo over at the east end of IMTT, at
the same time
Scott Turecamo and New Hampshire do.
CF Campbell stands by with Long Island.
And passing an unusual but new landmark along the sixth born margins,
Patrice McAllister makes her way west. Quick . . . name a larger global garment retailer than H & M, and what the initials H & M expand to? Answers here.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, whose fingers froze and cold tears flowed while having the float-about, look-about.
I’m not shifting the focus of this blog to photography–although it’s always been photo driven–but it’s fun to shoot what the light allows, which in this case somewhat obscures the identification of the tug in the foreground and highlights in profile the construction over by the Goethals Bridge. Also, I’ve not forgotten a realization of a few weeks back about there being nothing random; context here is recent sixth boro.
Anyhow, name that tug?
Meanwhile, north of the GW, it’s Joan Moran (1975) with a coal barge, from what I could tell.
Farther downriver, it’s Atlantic Coast (2007) with a dredge scow.
On that same dredge project, Shannon Dann (1971) stands by with GL 602.
Wye River (2008) waits over by the Palisades,
Sea Wolf (1982) holds steady over by –is that?–Edgewater.
Barry Silverton counts down for an appointment with Fight ALS,
Brendan Turecamo (1975) hangs with Connecticut, and
that brings us back to the first photo, now benefitting from a different light and easily identifiable as
Doris Moran (1982).

I considered calling this “random vessels,” since I haven’t used that title in a while, but here is a tighter focus for a few days: tugboats. Here I also randomize the backgrounds and seek out some vessels infrequently seen. Like the rare and exotic Shelby Rose and
Jay Michael and Vicki M and
Patricia with her racing stripes up against the gantry arms.
Wye River and James E. Brown here cross the south end of Newark Bay, where
Sandmaster has been tied up for (?) nearly a year now.
Sassafras did a circle in Erie Basin recently, and
Thomas, the Weeks tug, strode into town, picked up a barge and headed straight for Texas! The first time I saw Thomas was January 2009. Remember what memorable event splashed into the Hudson around the middle of that month?
Buchanan 12 here is light and seen from almost her prop wash. I hadn’t noticed the Boston registry before.
Quantico Creek stays local a lot, but Severn I don’t see much.
Here’s Tangier Island behind . . yes, Gerardi’s Farmers Market.
OK . . . that’s it for today. All photos by Will Van Dorp. More random tugs tomorrow.
