Captains,
I visited several hard working New York Coast Guard units last week. Aids to Navigation Team (ANT) New York is located in Bayonne, NJ at the Bayonne Cruise Port and Ocean Terminal. ANT New York is responsible for maintaining nearly 600 aids and lighthouses in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The ANT's workhorses are two 49' BUSLs (upper right picture).
ANT New York is also homeport for cutters Katherine Walker (upper left), Hawser (lower left) and Penobscot Bay (lower right). CGC Katherine Walker is a 175' WLM responsible for over 300 floating aids in the tri-state area. CGC Hawser is a 65' WYTL and CGC Penobscot Bay is a 140' WTGB. Both have been very busy breaking ice in the Hudson River area.
