NOTE: I have moved away from long form posts on this Blog for the time being and have been doing shorter updates on the Blog’s Facebook and Instagram feeds. Going forward, I will try to add those posts here as well.

Landing Craft Utility 1657 came up the North River Thursday, in tow with a small tugboat RF Pierson V. They were not pinging AIS so origin and destination are unknown, but we saw the same LCU going north back in March 2022. LCU 1657 was launched in 1971 and sold at GSA auction in 2020 and you can find photos on line of it in service as late as 2004. RF Pierson is a construction company and the LCU appeared to be carrying lumber or some other cargo or debris.
