Don Sutherland, marine photographer and writer, died on May 24 of cancer.  In the words of Carolina Salguero, Director, PortSide NewYork,  “Don covered the working waterfront in this port like no other with an adoring eye, passionate voice and sharp wit. Our port has lost an irreplaceable chronicler and advocate.”   His photographs are currently part of an exhibit, “TUGS!” at Mystic Seaport.   His work can also be viewed online.

A memorial service has been organized on the deck of the tanker Mary Whalen for 6pm Tuesday 6/22. Guests can come by land or tug to northside Pier 9B, Red Hook, Brooklyn.
