An asphalt barge is the sole anchorer in the North River Saturday, with its accompanying tug the Unico Teresa. The tug is Liberian-flagged, rather unusual for a tug doing domestic work. The Army Corps of Engineers heavy crane Driftmaster made an afternoon loop up the river as well.

Foggy conditions this past week allowed for some ghostly images. Thursday saw the Army Corps of Engineers and the USCG hard at work keeping the river safe and navigable.

Loaded tankers don’t usually anchor in the North River. But with a blizzard heading for New England, the Cape Lookout anchored here on Friday evening after taking on a cargo in Sewaren before heading up the Sound for Providence after the storm cleared on Sunday.

The Dutch-flagged heavy lift vessel Heerengracht left town after dropping off transformers from Italy at the Port of Albany. From here she would travel to Baltimore and Houston, perhaps making more deliveries or picking up Europe-bound cargo.
