Note: If you haven’t read “my” long comment to yesterday’s ‘SterCrazy 3 post, I added much more info from Robin Denny about the Bug roadster there.
March 23, 2017. So how many folks are standing at a high point of the Evergreen ship?
Two? Six? More?
It was something of an optical illusion, because the lower roadbed was in its last days.
On April 2, 2017 . . . Maersk Kolkata was one of the first vessels to “thread the needle” and shoot through the
opening, where a roadbed had been for almost a century. Time flies.
A week and a few days later, April 11, 2017
the “opening” in the lower roadway had grown to the point that it was difficult to imagine it’d ever been there.
Photos by Will Van Dorp, who did another post in April 2017 showing other vessels “shooting the needle” here.
Sometimes I like to start new categories so that the numbers don’t get so high, boats no longer extant or frequent get a second look, and we realize that time is passing pretty fast. So all the photos here I took more than seven years ago. Some have been on the blog before, but not together and not edited exactly as they are now.
Like Norwegian Sea, she used to be a wintertime staple running up the River, easily recognizable by her upper wheelhouse.
Juliet is still around but not very busy under her new name . . . it seems.
This boat, like her namesake, is gone too soon. Pegasus is still around but no longer looks this way.
Zeus was on the Great Lakes after working in the sixth boro, but I’ve lost track of her.
Volunteer, another unmistakable profile, now long time gone from here.
Zachery . . . still around and still working. High Peace is now registered Vietnamese and goes by Pvt Dolphin.
Just to break the pattern here, here’s a photo I took of Zachery a few days ago.
Take my word for this last photo . . . the distant unit I can’t identify although I’m guessing a Reinauer boat, but the closer vessel is outrageous. Actually I mean Outrageous. That’s the name. Click here (and scroll) for a previous photo of Outrageous, which I believe used to be based in the sixth boro.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
Kirby Moran here seems to have some symbiosis going on with the gulls,
and Jonathan C comes in for a closer look.
Zachery Reinauer repositions light under the parking lot forming on the lower deck of the Bayonne Bridge.
Diana B moves another load of product, likely to the creeks.
Thomas D. Witte is on the paper recycling run, I think.
Does anyone have a photo of her working up in the canals?
I’ve not yet seen Sapphire Coast light.
And finally, the unique paint scheme on Balico 100
moved into the Kills by Navigator.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
And then it was a sunny but cold day, the coldest so far in the sixth boro. ut the light was great.
B.Franklin Reinauer headed for the fuel stop,
followed by a group that included
Zachery Reinauer,
Arabian Sea,
and Doubleskin 40 pushed by a mostly self-effacing Fort McHenry.
Later Tarpon raced past, as
did Mister T and
Chesapeake moved her barge eastward.
Out in Gravesend Bay, Ruth M. Reinauer and Linda Lee Bouchard swung on the hook.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
The first two photos–showing the newest and fastest (??) ATB to arrive in the sixth boro– were taken by Randall Fahry.
Tina Pyne is one immense mover, and Kirby 185-02 is one of two 578′ ocean going tank barges with 185,000-barrel capacity built by Gunderson Marine for Kirby. See her christening here.
Zachery Reinauer is a Hudson River-built tug from 1971 one of the last 10 built at Matton, and she looks as good today as new!
This was taken a few seconds later, and this
as she stands by, while Haggerty Girls finesses RTC 107 into position.
An occasional sixth boro visitor, it’s Rhea I. Bouchard with B. No. 284.
As I began this post with another photographer’s photo, so I’ll end. Thanks to Gerard Thornton for this rare catch of Ticonderoga assisting Pleon (?) into the Kills, possibly the last float for Pleon. That’s also Barry Silverton in the distance.
Thanks to Randall and Gerard for use their photo. All others by Will Van Dorp.
Summertime and the living is easy . . . and Sassafras is bringing fuel to MSC Marianna.
JRT Moran is preparing to assist MSC Busan out of its berth
Another section of Rockefeller University’s River Campus is shipping in aboard Witte 1401 moved by Emily Ann,
passing Zachery and Jason Reinauer and
and Dean.
Crystal Cutler moves Patricia E. Poling westbound . . .
Brendan Turecamo assists MSC Busan back out
on its way
to Norfolk.
All photos taken yesterday by Will Van Dorp, who is leaving the area for a while. Details tomorrow.
Please read the El Faro Relief event notice at the end of this post. TODAY is the deadline to sign up.
It’s rained most of this week and last . . . and the forecast is the same for next week, but that just means sheltering (and wiping) the lens of the camera, as needed. I wonder if John Huibers knows something we need to pay attention to . . . but that’s another story.
For now, I noticed a lot of Reinauer boats the other day, like . . . the 1971 Matton-built Zachery Reinauer,
interrupted by the 1960 Blount-built Eric R. Thornton with the best logo in the sixth boro,
the 1984 Rayco Ship and Main Ironworks Franklin Reinauer,
the 1983 Cenac Shipyard-built Stephen B,
the 1967 Main Iron Works Jill Reinauer,
the 1966 Allied Shipyard Brian Nicholas,
1973 Jakobson Lucy Reinauer,
the 2010 G and S Marine Incorporated Crystal Cutler,
the 2011 Senesco Reinauer Twins.
and the 1978 Eastern Dawn, though I know not the builder. And it appears to the the 1947 Harbor II alongside, though I noticed that almost too late.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who’s been evading raindrops.
Anyone have more info on the previous Lucy Reinauer, the 1943 Odenbach Shipbuilding M/T? Birk has this photo, but I’d love to see some more and to know what became of her.
And here’s a note from the organizers of the El Faro fundraiser event: “On Sunday, May 15th from 12-2 at Club Macanudo we will be holding a fundraiser for the families affected by the loss of the El Faro. All proceeds will go to the Seamen’s Church Institute El Faro Relief Fund. Pricing is $75.00 per person with Beer and Wine being served. Email me at Goodwindmaritime@hotmail.com. Please see the attached flier (the link in the first sentence above).
Please send your checks as soon as possible. Make the checks out to Good Wind Maritime Services and mail to Good Wind Maritime Services 14451 25th Drive, Flushing, NY 11354″
I’ll ditch the parody of the title of a book and movie I’ll forego.
The temperatures this morning were below 20 F and will go down to below 10 by tomorrow morning, and yet I was amazed by the routine activity happening on the KVK. When this vessel was a greater distance off, I didn’t recognize it because of the apparently white hull, the whit/grayish glaze of February.
That color makes it hard to distinguish where hull ends and froth begins.
Be careful if you’re out long in the wind-driven cold.
Now known as Brooklyn, click here for photos of her making a convenience store stop on my rocky office terrace over six years ago.
Photos by Will Van Dorp, who’d love to see your ideas of either shades of spray or glaze of spray . . . or some other variation on this . . .. matter.
To pick up where yesterday I ended . . . Chemical Transporter is not a ship. Rather it’s the barge married to–or at least in a relationship with–ATB Freeport.
This Workboat article makes clear the circuitous and costly ($91 million !@#@!) route this 150′ tug followed from keel lay to launch.
I’d love to see the interior of this 2007 vessel.
R. L. Enterkin is a tug I’ve seen on AIS for a long time, but the other day,
I finally got a close-up as she went out to pick up a “tail job” at sunrise.
At the head of the tow was Layla Renee.
Click here for many posts I’ve done on Resolute.
Thomas D. Witte–here passing off Wall Street– has carried many names since 1961.
Zachery Reinauer was launched nearly a half century ago at Matton Shipyard . . . up above the Federal Lock in Troy and right across the river from the boyhood home of Herman Melville.
Ellen . . . focus of countless tugster posts… as
has Brendan Turecamo.
HMS Justice–NOT this one–debuts on this blog with the photo below, which almost makes it appear she’s equipped with her very own drone…. but there must be an illusion happening there.
And to close out this post . . . from M. McMorrow . . . the most intriguingly named tug of all . . . Tug of War.
The last photo from Mike and Michelle McMorrow, who’ve contributed photos here before. All others by Will Van Dorp.
Here was 3 in the series. The sixth boro is indeed a huge fuel transfer port, and I need to make a more concerted effort to learn which transfers are imports and which . . . exports. Meanwhile, a look at the variety of vessels involved in just a few days shows Energy Century,
Aurora N with Crystal Cutler on the far side of a fuel barge in the distance,
Trans Trader,
Zachery Reinauer,
Patrick Sky passing the bow of Summit Europe,
and finally, passing a Laura K. Moran docking SCF Pechora, it’s Diane B with barge John Blanche.
Cold and snow do not slow this trade; in fact, it’s when the temperature drops that this trade speeds up.
