Here’s a new name in the boro, although the tugboat is not a boro regular. Any guesses on the previous name? It has appeared on this blog three times before; answer follows. Technically, the name changed two years ago.

Here’s another shot. Note the H. J. Reinauer, apparently no longer a Reinauer boat, to the left. Can you identify the tugboat to the right?

Can you name the three McAllister boats here?

I would say Patrick McAllister, Maurania III, and the ex-Jackie F. McAllister. New name?

Sherena B. was formerly Dann Marine’s Sea Coast. She appeared in these three posts. In the second photo, the tugboat to the right is Diane B. And finally, Jackie F. McAllister seems now to be Jackie K.

Many thanks to a Gmail user and to Bill Mitchell for these photos.

And a request: please take two minutes to check out my other blog Dispatches. Today’s post–“April 1941 below Lock E-2”— features tugboats, one of which is a follow-on of this tugster post from February 2022.
