Tugboat on drydock

Preparing to put the Bruce A McAllister back in the water after an overnight repair to a leaking keel cooler at Caddell Drydock, Staten Island NY
For those concerned or curious about the green liquid on the drydock floor, its not antifreeze, just a non-toxic leak detector dye in the cooling system. (fluorescin, sodium)

I don't get to see much shipyard repairs anymore, this is good to watch, thanks for posting it!

[@rickylafleur9601]

2:15 just pause it and look how big that is

[@jamber787]

I used to work there back in the day!

[@rad3766]

Yes, EMD 16-645 E2's twirling Falk MR boxes. 3900 HP.

[@ekweseman]

A nice little ship.

[@gbbbys]

Not a small tug ...wonder what tonnage/lenght ? Thanks4uploading :)

[@pjneslo8979]

Did you film this using some type of device to make the video stable? It looks as if a drone filmed it or one of those video camera stabilizers ... Reason I ask is that the video is very smooth, if not whoever filmed it has a steady hand .. Great video though !

[@rad3766]

+Solar Flarin, no fancy tricks other than having a 6" tripod on the camera that I use like a handle. Otherwise just steady breath, using both hands on the camera and peripheral vision to walk around the drydock. Thanks for the compliment! :)

[@BruceBoschek]

Amazingly steady! Excellent coverage. Compliments on a fine video.

[@cidcampeador1952]

BRAVO ! ! !

[@BRICKIEREPORT]

I love that fuckin boat

[@Jon_Flys_RC]

How long was she missing the outboard stbd flanking rudder?

[@eriektjung1472]

Good tug and good design. What engine she has and how much her power ? Was she made in america ?

[@francovance1]

Nice one! the props look huge compared to the size of her stern- makes her look quite a powerhouse, EMD`s?

[@gbbbys]

Love tugboats .

[@cidcampeador1952]

I LOVE IT THE TUGBOATS .

[@fioredecor222]

Must have decent bollard pull with the kort nozzles.

[@davidheitman7004]

nice props..don't jam them in the sand! ha.

[@tylerroark1762]

Did Bruce himself film this? 7-3-17

[@iplaypearldrums7935]

How did that hurricane in NY affect that place?

[@rad3766]

+Iplay Pearldrums They got flooded out with everybody else up and down Richmond Terrace, but they came roaring right back with a lot of new equipment. A huge pain in the rear, but I think they made out alright, all things considered.

[@dwetick1]

The bottom needs painted w/ red lead.

[@rad3766]

D Wetick Yup, she got a proper bottom prep and paint.

[@scootdean4269]

Did not show much. Been in dry docks before if you post make worth while. Thanks

[@yasserallam6405]

[@rad3766]

+Yasser Allam Correct, not a Z-drive; those are Kort nozzles. Standard props and rudders.

[@alincatalin6087]

What the f&%k is that ? how old is she ?

[@rad3766]

+Alin Cătălin Erm....its a tugboat? Built in 1974

[@alincatalin6087]
