As I earlier noted
here, Brooklyn Pier 7, which lies next to
Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 6, sometimes serves as a temporary berth for ships between charters. For the past week or so, it has hosted a larger than usual vessel,
Torm Thames, a Norwegian flagged chemical tanker with an overall length of 604 feet and a cargo capacity of 47,036 deadweight tons. I took the photo above from Pier 6 while on a morning walk the day after
Torm Thames arrived.
Here is a better view of
Torm Thames' superstructure, taken the following, foggy, morning from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
Continuing northward on my walk, as I passed the northern edge of Pier 6, I caught a glimpse (and was able to get a quick shot just as she began to disappear behind the pier) of the small harbor tanker
Patrick Sky heading south into the Buttermilk Channel.
Here, thanks to
FL92002, is a video of
Patrick Sky heading south on the East River after passing under the Queensboro--excuse me, the Edward I. Koch--Bridge (also known as the
59th Street Bridge). There's also a photo of
Patrick Sky with a snow-covered main deck, taken after the storm of January, 2011, on Will Van Dorp's
Tugster: a Waterblog.
