Pegasus approaches the tow,
deckhand thinks in synch with captain, boat . . . concentration is essential to make the tow.
What’s this, you ask? I just happened to see this logo on a parked tour bus near Pier 84 . . . well, the bus shown came into service one year AFTER the tug above!
But to see Pegasus in action, antiquity (A friend might call it “jalopyhood”) is NOT what comes to mind. Pegasus and crew can work. . .
local shifts or longer jobs.
If you see Pegasus in the sixth boro this weekend or docked anywhere along the Hudson this summer, come down and say hello, the preservation project still needs volunteers to power its projects.
If you can’t volunteer, well then
at least wave!
By the way, great name Pegasus . . . for son of Poseidon and Medusa.

“Pegasus” of 1907 looks great! It’s good to see her coming back to life.
Pamela is to be commended for a job well done!

Thank you. Still loads to do- New Microphore system installed yesterday. Soon bladder tank for biodiesel and we’re a green tug! You’re welcome to visit anytime.
Best

Hi Pam…
I’d definitely like to get up to you some weekend…
I am not sure if I ever sent it to you but, I have an image of “Pegasus” when she was “John E. McAllister” sitting at the Rec Pier here in Baltimore. I decked on her a few times before she was sold…that boat had good heat!
Maybe I posted it to the Yahoo group, I forget.
Anyway, if you’d like a copy, send me an e-mail and I’ll send one off to you.
