Actually, this is a reprise of a post I did earlier this week . . . Ferry Coursen carried trucks. 
Mary H pushed a creek-size barge.
Winter fishing continued apace aboard Eastern Welder.
I got a close-up of Mary H.
Brendan Turecamo headed out for an assist.
A slightly different angle on Sorensen Miller shows the yellow as strapping.
More shots of John P. Brown moving railcars over to New Jersey.
A Moose boat on patrol barreled right at me.
Hunting Creek got light at the mooring.
And a USACE boat practiced bathymetry.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp. For fotos of Hamilton (ON) harbor delights, click here. Here’s more info on the 1935 tug he shows. It’s for sale for less than a loaded Escalade. Unrelated . . . another blog I read these days is Ohio River blog with good inland rivers fotos here. And since I’m all over the place today . . .check out this Flickr page by Guillermo Barrios of southern South American tugs and towboats. And finally check out these fotos of the old bridge in Bucksport, ME. I haven’t crossed that bridge–about to be demolished– in over two decades . . . .

Nice, you found the listing… not sure about that engine but the interior doesn’t look too bad!

Tugboathunter–In your photo of tug JERRY G. there are numerous white fixtures around the deckhouse about 7 feet above the main deck. I’ve never seen them on a US tug. Are they tank vents?

Very interesting, they do look like vents of some kind. But honestly I’m not sure what they are.
