Getting ready for the fleet

An atmosphere of anticipation prevailed over the river Tuesday ahead of Wednesday’s arrival of the ships participating in the annual fleet week events. Cool and pleasant conditions prevailed.

A Coast Guard 65’ harbor tug was heading for the Battery in the afternoon
As was Marine 1’s large fireboat
A flattop barge was brought upriver and docked on the south side of Pier 88 as perhaps a viewing platform of some kind

Regular business also went on as usual of course.

Business as usual ahead of Fleet Week
