CCGS Molly Kool
The Molly Kool tied up along side the Hudson, having put into BIO after responding to the Holiday Island fire.
with the end of the month, she is likely here for crew change. BIO typically has a busy dock at crew change time, but this is the first time i can recall seeing one ship tied up against another.
