Thank you. I really appreciate all that you do, but for only six years? I had thought you here forever.

I believe they were direct reversing bell boats, which really shows her age. They sat at the Canal Control office for as long as i can remember only moving once or twice a year. They must have been sold off, and the colors remained. I wondered where they went to.

Apparently she was built at Avondale in 1953 as LT-1962 for the U S Army. Spent a good part of her career based in Cape Cod. She does not appear in most registries or CG lists, for some reason.
