I like the Trash barge , going out to make a new reef. Cool Pics

Your driving one of those boats? Why are you getting laid off? Those 2 pictures of the Statue of Liberty are cool!

Great pictures. We just got back home from there our son is on the USCGC Line

Cool pics , close to home (sorta) a hour away.
Been on the of same pieces of water a couple times. Also been up the new world trade center once ( very spendy - $42+ ) the museum below was very interesting too , very spendy too.

I kinda cringe a bit seeing the Manhattan skyline without the twin towers though , been up them years ago. Every time I see an older movie with them in the background , I kinda get a bit sad and melancholy.

Very nice pics , thanks for sharing.



The FIL ( so to speak ) and I celebrating his 80th birthday in 2014 ( girlfriend's dad )

Always love your pics. Thanks for posting them!

Yes I am in the wheelhouse usually alone navigating that crazy harbor, at times it is pretty tough!

Getting laid off temp. passenger count is down big time (I run 4 different commuter ferry's)...




I have seen quite a few CG boats in the harbor, he is on the vessel Line?



Cragar I agree the sky line isnt the same and its a sad reminder of how quickly things change Forever!




Thanks trapdog1

Fantastic pics River. TKS for sharing.

A couple pics from the museum under where the twin towers once stood.


This firetruck was parked out front of the towers when they collapsed

Picture of one of the pools that stand exactly where the towers stood. On the railings/borders are inscribed all the names of the lives that were lost that fateful day , I walked all the way around both of them reading most of the names in respect , it took over an hour to do that. Never forget them. Ever.

Thanks for the pics, everyone.

This is the reef you want to find!




Good Stuff Cragar, Here is the 343 it has some steel from the towers in it....










some more CG

Cool pics of the 343.
Much respect.

Those are some pretty cool pictures of a world I may never see. Maybe some day, who knows. For now I'm content with the nearest neighbor 4 miles away and the biggest body of water in the county probably doesn't cover an acre. Thanks for posting all those pictures!

Where were the "fuel" pics taken?

Do the dump the demo debris on the garbage dump?

Nice pics.They dump garbage in the water?

Thanks for the photos' How do they unload them garbage barges, or do they just sink everything for the reefs ?

No! that is a recycle barge and that goes to a recycle center (a barge has way more capacity than a truck).

However under strict regulations they do dredge mud from cruise ship terminal and put it onto a barge (quite the operation) the barge of mud is then towed to a location out to sea called the "Mud Dump" it is here the center of the barge opens dropping the mud to the bottom.












There are also inshore reefs made from old construction debris (inspected and regulated before forming the reef) Here is the cement rebar and steel from a bridge being towed to a specific location...

Wow those sunset and night photos are fantastic. I always enjoy your photos. Thanks for sharing

,.,.

The "FUEL" pics are taken inside the Morris Canal and the confluence with the Hudson (North River). That is Liberty Landing Marina...


Bob I'm not sure if you recall the navy seal that had parachute failure and lost his life, the presence of CG and Military was around for a time searching for something(I don't know what?

One day I saw a film crew capture a movie scene of a car driving off a pier... Then a crane lifted it from the river
