Orion headed for the Viking Lady
Line up on the Viking Lady. I was on the Tripp and we were the port bow boat for the trip through Hull Gut, Fore River Channel and the Fore River Bridge to the Terminal in Fore River, Quincy, MA

Passing Windmill Point, Hull
Orion working the Viking Lady's stern to starboard to line up for the Fore River Bridge. The ship would be stopped just outside the bridge and lined up before passing through it.
Once the ship was lined up, we were released and would go through the bridge first to meet the ship as she came through and get our line back up. The ship would then travel a few more ship lengths, make a 90 degree turn and land starboard side to the dock.
