C.ANGELO was present at the 2000 tug races in Manhattan. Don’t think she was a participant.

In fact it’s appeared that even now there is no Schichau Werke in Poland. So this info if fully wrong as when this shipyard was there, it was Germany territories then the shipyard moved in 1945 to Bremerhaven. The yard was always German.

Hello Will

Yes this info from Shipspotting is wrong. In 1964 the Schichau Werke was in West Germany town of Bremerhaven. Then in 90′s with the end of communism era in east Europe the shipyard came back to Poland.

So, the info about Schichau Werke in Poland is thrue for now, not for the era between 1945 until 1996

The Baltic Warrior is not built in Poland – She was built in Germany as Bugsier 26

She’s a very well maintained tug
