Since starting the blog, I’ve noticed constant change in the sixth boro,
shorelines of the five boros and NJ, and a few other places I get to repeatedly.
For example, a year and a half ago Bayonne Dry Dock added their marine travel lift,

Thanks to Jan van der Doe,
enjoy these photos of
a radschleppdampfer,
translated as “side wheel steamer,”
a museum ship in Duisburg, Germany.

See the tricolor courtesy flag
between the lower and upper wheelhouse? […]

I choose to interrupt
the “go west” series here.
It will continue soon.
And why?
Late yesterday,
emerging from the fires

I had something different
planned for today, but one
does not plan the news.
Since I’m map-oriented,
I’m sharing
what I found on the “maps”
of the Ever Given story,
the 20,000 teu+ container ship
acting as a cork in a bottleneck. […]

Empire Line . . .
is that a rail service?
A fashion design?
You’ve seen Erie Canal posts
on this blog many, many times. […]
