That's rare to see them in the Hudson Dock, Peter, and obviously they got them in, but one is tempted to ask HOW?
An SD14 has an overal length of 462 ft 6 ins. and a Moulded Breadth of 67 ft.
The width of the Lock into the Half Tide Basin is 70 ft. BUT the width of the exit is 63 ft (64 ft with fenders removed.)
Also the length of the Half Tide Basin is 420 ft.
The width of the Sea Lock is only 60 ft.

BABITONGA is in the basin on the north bank of the river while the SD14 in the background is at Greenwells.

Ahhh I was sort of trying to work it out and I must admit the background did not look quite right for the Hudson!!
