Coral Coast, Dann Marine’s 55-year-old 3,000 HP tug, brought a light cement transporter barge up the North River in the final week of August, heading back to the cement plant in Coeymans after discharging at the terminal in Bayonne. The cylindrical 34-story building at the top of the Bergen Hill in the background is the Stonehenge Building of North Bergen. Just slightly older than the tug, Stonehenge was built in 1967 when the shoreline below was still industrial buildings and rail yards. A week later, as of Wednesday morning, Coral is on the way back to Coeymans once again having departed the Flushing Bay cement terminal at sunrise.
