Very much enjoyed your Ships in the East River segment RIC.
As you know for almost 50 years I have enjoyed spotting unusual and/or large ships from my Rivercross Terrace. With binoculars I can usually identify a name and then go on the internet to VESSELFINDER., where there is often helpful info about the ship, it’s ownership , destination and travels and , especially if it is available for sale or charter, a bevy of pictures of its rooms , nautical accessories and other amenities , like a a Helopad or (once!) two. Pics later! Ross
