- Cover photo description:
- The Newtown Creek is a lovely coastal tanker that traversed New York harbor’s waters for close to a half century. With relatively fine lines, a sharp bow, and a grey hull with rub rails that made the ship seem longer and sleeker than she was, it was perhaps even more pleasing that her appearance didn’t give away her job, which was carrying sewage sludge from various points around the harbor. Many of us, however, did not call her a sewage tanker or even a sludge tanker, but preferred the more delicate term “honey tanker.†The name is adapted from the US Army trucks that used to empty latrines. The trucks were called sarcastically, “honey wagons.†So, calling the Newtown Creek a “honey tanker†seemed to fit, both for her cargo and because, at least to some eyes, she was a sweet little ship.
