Random Tugs 122

Iron Mike . . . 1977 and 53′ loa  . . . has lots of character

although I don’t know what engine/horsepower moves her.    Anyone?

Haggerty Girls . . . late 2013 and a surprising 110′ and 4000 hp . . .  with RTC60 must be the newest tug in the sixth boro.  Click here for a photo of her first arrival in NYC.

If we were talking birds, Pacific Reliance (red stacks) would be called an exotic, not common to this habitat.  Pacific Reliance  . . . built in 2006 and 121′ loa uses 9280 hp to  move her payload.  Alongside is Quantico Creek, 90′ loa launched in 2010 and rated at 3000 hp.

Brooklyn, 76′ loa, launched in 2000 with 2000 hp has had lots of identities in her 14 years of service.

And finally .  .   . dwarfed by the Lower Manhattan skyline in February, it’s Pegasus.

Built in 2001, 75′ loa and rated at 1900 hp.

All photos by Will Van Dorp, yesterday, thanks to mobility by New York Media Boat.  Check them out here.
