Hey, Big Fella

Stasinos Marine’s big tug Toula C was back on the shores of the Upper West Side again on Monday, helping the much smaller construction tug Big Fella maneuver barges at the 69th Street Transfer Bridge restoration work site. Big Fella, either named ironically or perhaps big compared with the other work boats it normally consorts with, came down from Verplanck for the job and later moved a crane barge about 200 yards south to assist a diver removing some of the old pilings from the remains of New York Central Pier F, part of the overall project. Evelyn Cutler is visible beyond the crane in the third photo, returning from Albany with the Noelle Cutler barge.
