I had bought it back around 1998 from an ad I saw in a publication called Messing Around in Boats. That’s me in the two-person sailing Folbot back in 2002. I could have called this “ unusual sail.” Related: Last year I posted a photo of a mystery vessel I referred to as a boat/rat rod here.

I’d love to know more about the travels of Revere, which in the photo above appears to be headed downstream in the North River. But what became of this all metal, welded Cupro-nickel vessel? Have Revere thought of manufacturing these?

Timing may have stifled follow up to the project, and after the war, other boat building materials were used. It turns out there was a Revere plant right beside Palmer Scott’s boatyard, if I read the last page here correctly. I’d first thought it was named for the city.Īnd why the title? Because this morning when following link to link, I arrived at this article by Krista Karlson about an exhibit I’d missed. From that October 2015 post, I’d say art deco tug meet art deco yacht, built in 1941 by Palmer Scott in Fairhaven MA as a prototype for Revere Copper and Brass Inc. Terrapin Island is currently in Norfolk.Ĭall this Something Different 21 followup, four and a half years on. Terrapin Island was one of the regulars in the navigation dredging effort. There’s scuttlebutt of a new lease on life for Day Peckinpaugh. Maurania III is currently in Wilmington NC.īack a decade ago, Day Peckinpaughhad some good paint on her, and Frances was like a cocoon in Turecamo livery. Under the old Bayonne bridge, Maurania III assumes position to ease the 1997 Maersk Kokura around Bergen Point. I believe that’s her location as of this writing. What works of beauty all three are!ĭeborah Quinn here is docked near where Jakobson Shipyard used to be located. My reason to be in Mystic that October was to work on Pegasus, seen here with Araminta and Cangarda. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Amazon today? Rumor has it that Growler has returned to the sixth boro under a new name and sans teeth, but is under wraps.Īlso in Mystic at that time, 1885 steam/sail vessel Amazon (has nothing to do with Bezos), the 2000 Amistad, and the 1908 steamer Sabino. I caught Growler at Mystic Seaport that fall. For many more photos of the event, check out “floating the door,” where you also see Allied’s Sea Raven, unlabelled. Here are two of the McAllister tugs involved in easing MSC’s USNS S isler (T-AKR 311)into Bayonne drydock as then- John P. As of 2020, Falcon has become Carol and I’ve not yet seen her latest livery.

Here five people on Decker are catching the stare of the one dredge worker in work vest. Decker is NOT a dredge tender in this photo. She was only two years old at the time of the photo. Then as now, Layla Renee was in the dredge support trade. By the way, those teeth weigh 35 pounds each. The crewman wielding the hammer was trying to loosen a worn tooth. These operations afforded me the chance to see a cutterhead close up. In fall 2010, deepening dredging was happening in the sixth boro to prepare for the ULCVs now so commonplace here, after Panama Canal enlargement and Bayonne Bridge raising.
