Some get cut up, and only a few get saved. I don’t know what tug this is, but steady restoration progress is being made.
Belly plates were missing a year ago.
Those that don’t survive to float in restored beauty have at least been preserved in very interesting photos here (see Rossville) and here, if you fancy nudity.
What regal ship this once was and which exotic ports she entered will never be known.

great blog – just came across it about a month ago and can’t stop checking in.
I believe that boat you have pictured there is Tug 13?

I met the couple restoring that boat a few years ago but I’ve lost touch now. they had a website which seems to be no longer functioning.

Brave girl to go wandering around in all that bare foot. I don’ t want to wander around our mess bare foot! I hope her tetanus shots were up to date.
