Great shot Matt, she is a regular visitor in my area.

She was anchored in NY on Friday.

It´s interesting see this tanker (and her red sister TURCHESE) there in North American waters as usually these Crystal Pool tankers trade in the Continent and the Baltic. Very usual visitors in Finland too.

Terrific shot of this nice little tanker, I love the angle too. Where exactly did you take this from? Notice that there is no more russian submarine in the background. Vega Desgagnes is another small tanker that has been to that dock.
