On Monday morning, November 6th, McAllister Towing attempted to shift the 920-foot aircraft carrier USS Intrepid from Pier 86, North River to Bayonne, NJ. Prior to beginning the tow, a ceremony featured several dignitaries such as Senator Hillary Clinton and former NYC mayors David Dinkins and Ed Koch. Although scheduled for the moment of the highest tide of the year the operation, including five McAllister tugs, was only able to move the ship about 15 feet. According to a U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson the operation was halted and will have to be rescheduled for another time. The USS Intrepid has been stationed at Pier 86 for 23 years, and for the next two years, it is scheduled to undergo major renovations while its pier has a complete rebuild.
