Gentle Leader - "Docked!" (New England)
 
As many of you have said there have been about 3 three ships from Japan as possibles for SNE's first delivery. It appears the "Gentle Leader" was that ship. It just docked at ~6am this morning in Davisville Port (Kingston, RI). This ship just recently came from a quick stop in Baltimore. The wait should almost be over. Also I found a recent video about the port:

Davisville

Unload faster!!!!!!!!

Hoping that there are some SDC cars on there as well, more specifically mine :lol:

How do we know this boat would carry Subaru?

Also, thanks for the info. Hope mine is on it or the one on the 30th.

I pre-ordered from the 3rd largest Subie dealership in NE. He says they get their first shipment on the 7th of June and the next around 2 weeks later.

Unfortunetly I have no DEFINITIVE proof. I recall from past posts here there were 3 ships someone tracked from FHI in Japan (gentle leader being one). Also the port history of the ship I can only find back to when it arrived in Baltimore.

Anyone live near Kingston, RI??? From a google map view it appears with the right set of bonocs you should be able to see what's unloading.

Yeah I live about 10 minutes from Quonset Point. Last time I went down it was pretty tough to see the cars that were just unloaded, but there were plenty of Subies that were in sight. Hopefully they'll park them close enough that I can get some pictures. FWIW my dealer (Patrick Subaru) said they expect their first shipment May 29-31 so it makes sense for the boat to be getting here now.

Someone hire a Private Investigator to snap some shots for us. They did that on the west coast. Now that's dedication or obsession :thanks:

:scared0016: Definitely an obsession... I'm looking at Google terrain maps for higher elevations in the area.

A nice vantage point is needed for :coolpics:!

Just received word from my dealer (Patrick Subaru) that the ship is at the port in Rhode Island. Also received good news that my SWP Limited is on this ship and I should be able to take delivery by next week depending on how fast they can get the cars out of there.

Pretty excited!!!

DMViper 05-23-2012 03:32 PM

Well, that confirms that this boat is a BRZ boat. :confused0068:

I can see the Gentle Leader from across the bay, but it's too far away to make out any vehicles coming off of it. Damn!

You sir, need a telescope...or at least some high power binoculars.

davisk6 05-23-2012 05:03 PM

Nice! Hopefully my SWP Limited is on that boat too :)
