The foto below is a repeat, last one of previous post . . . and I stated I was hoping I could find Portland. Well . . .
I did!!
Port of registry on this Foss tug reiterates that. Not much time for research or commentary on my part, so enjoy the fotos.
Although this one deserves some enhancement. Peacock is a pilot boat with a daughter vessel. Notice the seam around the stern . . . it opens to launch the daughter, which got the pilot to the ship for 30 years.
Germany-built and delivered in 1967, she’s
a charm.
A model inside the museum–where there’s also a video of her delivering a pilot in very rough water–illustrates the flybridge.
Will Van Dorp took these fotos and will post again when possible.
