Scale 2

W. O. Decker (ex-Russel No. 1) built in 1930 in Long Island City has dimensions that suited its function.

 

Its 48 loa by 15 feet make it bulky relative to this inflatable, foto first published here.

 

But relative to Curtis Reinauer . . .

 

and then this unidentified Reinauer tug (Franklin??)  relative to K-Line’s car carrier Century Highway No. 2 . . . . Some history on the K-Line here.

 

and we could go on . . . to Emma Maersk, Knock Nevis, and Genesis. And Enterprise?
