He's BACK...from his get-a-way to NYC, Philly and Seaside Heights. Last Sunday, I found my way to the dock area just under the Brooklyn Bridge. While I was waiting for our group to rendezvous back after dinner , I happen to see the tug Helen McAllister over my shoulder. Tugs have always intrigued me, since my youth. They accomplish so much, with so seemingly little effort. I envy them.

Wasn't TUGBOAT ANNIE an old TV show? I have a vague recollection of it. I share your fascination.
ReplyDeleteI remember these colorful tugboats, which are quite different from ours. I am fascinated by everything floating but I admit a soft spot for tugs of any kind...
ReplyDeleteTugs are small but mighty.
ReplyDeleteThere is a great article in the April 19 New Yorker mag. about tugboats: "Towheads" (by Burkhard Bilger). I'm a little behind in reading these weekly issues; I just read this one last week! I had little interest in tugboats until I read this fascinating homage.
ReplyDeleteShalom Birdman. I'm having a wonderful time looking at your posts.
ReplyDeleteYou accomplish a great deal with seemingly little effort too...
