Will Van Dorp – Tugster – High and Dry 12

Por |noviembre 22nd, 2022|

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,

and anyone looking in that direction gets treated to a rotation of work boats,

revealing hull lines and wheels, the usually invisible parts of a boat.

Will Van Dorp – Tugster – Exotic Queen – QM2

Por |febrero 22nd, 2022|

<<<

I’ve usually used “exotic”

for offshore windfarm-related vessels

or others that are rarely-seen,

because prior to five or so years ago,

such vessels never called here.

In this case, cruise ships

became quite scarce because of Covid,

and so I counted myself fortunate

to catch QM2 arriving this morning.

saw the arrival of this vessel,

321′ x 41′ and with that pennant

flying from the masthead at 157′.

Road Fotos never tell the whole story,

but enjoy these fleeting sights

from the Mississippi Valley . . .

like an excursion boat called Tom Sawyer,

or one called Mark Twain . . .

Sleepboot . . .?  it’s Dutch for tugboat.

It’s pronounced more like “slape boat”

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

over in Sarnia it came . . .

Will Van Dorp – Tugster – Ever Given Way

Por |marzo 26th, 2021|

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. […]
