Working Harbor Committee Jun 15th tour, quoting from their website:
workingharbor.com/Events.htm#sunset_tour
"We depart Pier 16 at the South Street Seaport, go by the Brooklyn Piers and south in Buttermilk Channel between Brooklyn & Governors Island, passing Atlantic Basin. We go further south and nose into Erie Basin, a large barge & tug facility and home to IKEA's Brooklyn store on the former site of Todd Shipyard and a now filled in graving dock.
We then cross Upper New York Harbor, passing numerous moored barges and tugs to the entrance to the Kill Van Kull, a waterway that separates Staten Island and Bayonne, passing tanker terminals, tug yards, and a large ship repair facility with floating drydocks. We proceed westerly and pass under the Bayonne Bridge, turning north to enter Newark Bay, home of Port Newark and Port Elizabeth, the largest collection of huge container ports on the East Coast of the US.
We come back out through the Kill Van Kull again, then north passing the end of the Military Ocean Terminal with its large active graving dock, then go by Global Marine Terminal just north. We pause at the end at the Statue of Liberty (around sunset) and then proceed to the tip of Manhattan and back to Pier 16."

These aircraft tugs are designed to push, pull and maneuver aircraft up to 15,000 lbs in an airport, FBO or hanger for the aviation industry. Our aviation tugs come with an easy-on roller cradle that slides effortlessly under the front tire of any air. Once the tire of the aircraft is loaded in the cradle, the cradle has a 5th wheel style turning that allows our aviation tugs to turn a full 180 degrees underneath the wheel of the aircraft without turning the wheel or steering mechanism of your aircraft. The lever handle and cable system on our airport tugs locks and releases the easy-on cradle when loading and unloading aircraft.
After Lindy's Aircraft Tug has safely secured the front wheel of the aircraft in the easy-on wheel cradle, one operator can easily maneuver aircraft in tightly stacked aviation hangers or staging on an airport ramp. Our airport tugs have a smooth acceleration and braking system resulting from variable speed twist grip handlebars with forward and reverse 0-2 mph operations that eliminates the jerkiness found in gas powered aircraft tugs. Plus, the quietness of the electric motor allows the operator to safely manipulate their airplane without the loud, aggravating, unsafe noise that goes with operating combustion engine aviation tugs.
If you are in need of an aircraft tug or just looking for information, Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Company manufactures the highest quality aircraft tugs at the most competitive prices. Please contact them today at 1-800-686-2651 or visit them on the web at http://www.lindbergh.com/aircraft-tug.
Tugs, ferries, and steamers found off Staten Island in the boat graveyard known as Witte Marine Scrap Yard (Thank you to Captain RNJ nyc for the info!). I am trying to find the names of these boats, but information is scarce. I'm not giving up yet though. Just wanted to put some of my favorites up. More to come...

Took a trip to Ipswich marina on Friday and this old tug was down for the weekend festival. Unfortunately the tug does not get any funding and only operates on donations.
