Any guess on vintage of this specialized tug?
Here’s the company info on Ellen McAllister. What’s specialized is below the waterline.
I like the concept of upgrading a 41-year-old machine, be it tug, truck, or farm tractor. I used to live in a brick shoe factory that had been blessed by an “adaptive reuse“.
More on vessel assist tugs tomorrow.
