Century of Tugs

September 3, 2008 in Marine Steel, McAllister, Moran, Pegasus, Peking, photos, vessel info | Tags: , , , , | 1 comment

Left to right:  Laura K Moran, new this year; Edith Thornton, 1951; and Pegasus, 1907.  Laura K didn’t race on Sunday but escorted in a cruise ship moments before.  Built in Maine, New Jersey, and New York, respectively.

Rosemary McAllister , 2008, raced, a stand-in for Andrew McAllister, also 2008, Florida.

And while we’re on McAllisters, this foto taken back in January shows McAllister Responder, 1967,  escorting Peking;  in the foreground in Helen McAllister, 1900,  recently disappeared from South Street Seaport.  Built in Florida and New York.  Hope Helen comes back a tractor.

Photos, WVD.
