Hudson River Views from UWS Manhattan



Our apartment looks out over the Hudson River from a point in Manhattan roughly in-line with Lincoln Center (around 63rd street). I was pleasantly surprised to note regular traffic of tug boats, which make  great subjects for photos, as well as other working boats and air traffic. I thought it would be fun to start a "collection" of vessels that pass by. My self imposed rule is that to properly collect a vessel, I need to both snap a decent photo and identify the vessel by name and/or purpose. Below are the first entries in my collection.
