Beautiful morning on the Hudson River yesterday. Went upriver to the Port Of Coeymans. Came across a tug and barge stopped in mid-channel. Just holding steady against the current. About a mile further I saw the reason. A large bulk carrier was being un-docked in Coeymans, blocking the channel. Even though it was unloaded and ready to go downriver it first had to go 10mi or so upriver to the Port Of Albany turning basin because the channel is too narrow at Coeymans to turn a ship of that size. For a comparison, enlarge the last photo and look at the fisherman in the 17' fishing boat. The river was flat calm but if you look at photo #6 you can see how a tug at full power will actually pile up the water behind it. Taking tows on the Dismal Swamp Canal years ago I could stand on the bow and watch the water being pulled off of the shore ahead of us and standing on the stern I could only see tree tops on the shore because the boat would squat so much when working hard.

Oh nice set Fingar.....these are nice. Your description of how working boats manage the channels and shallow or narrow passages is helpful to know and appreciate. Life on the water requires special skills. Thanks man

Liverpool, eh? Seems I've heard of that town. I've always felt that it would be an interesting place to visit.

Nice shots LFingar. Without looking up her size the M/V Alicia appears to be smaller than a Panamax vessel. Guessing she was about 600' X 85'. A Panamax size vessel is usually about 750' X 105'. My working life was in the maritime industry in the New Orleans area (Mississippi River).
