I caught a visitor from Alabama in Gulfport harbor over the weekend. I give you the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers survey vessel Irvington socked in by our characteristic February sea smoke.

Considered a “floating plant” in USACE parlance assigned to District Mobile, the 54-foot S/V Irvington is a high-speed, twin-screw, aluminum hydrofoil-supported catamaran built in 2003 Kvichak in Seattle. She does survey work, largely along the ICW and shipping channels, from Little Rigolets, LA, to Pensacola, FL.
