    Hello, Is there any chance of obtaining more photos of Constellation while in tow? This is her last time at sea and I for one would like as many shots as possible. I spent part of my youth on her and I’ll truly miss her when she meets her sad final end. Also, is there a ETA for Brownsville (even within a week or two) so I can make reservations. I plan on being there when she arrives. Thanks for your help.

      We are doing our best to accommodate everyone’s requests! Will forward to our Port Captain to see if he has any photos from the tug crew while underway.

        Thank you, Mary. I guess you have been flooded with all sorts of requests. I hope I speak for everyone who is following this final voyage when I say your efforts are very much appreciated. Connie is still alive in our hearts and we know her end is nearing. I guess by following her journey, we’re able to pay our last respects to her in some sort of twisted way. Have a great day.

    On Marine Traffic it is showing the Corbin Foss in New York City, USA. Please advise. Thank you.

      Don’t think this is accurate and may be an old position report showing up on Marine Traffic. They are definitely headed to Balboa, Panama for fuel stop and to pick up their escort tug to go south through the Straits of Magellan.

    Thanks for the updates on The Connie. I check every day to see where she is.
