From George Conk . . . it’s Ahoskie, taken in Rockland, Maine.
from Jonathan Steinman, it’s Franklin Reinauer at sunrise on the East River, passing under–I guess-the Manhattan Bridge.
From Allen Baker, earlier this week, it’s Eagle, once again in the sixth boro.
From Bjoern Kils . . . it’s Kalmar Nyckle . . . taken by his mom in Lewes, DE.
From Zwaan Casasnuevas, it’s Half Moon in her current berth in Hoorn, NL, one stormy day last week.
From eBay and identified only by date, a view from 1946 featuring Chancellor and an unknown tug, probably NYC. Anyone help with identification?
And finally from the same ethereal realms, it’s an unidentified Dalzell tug,
Thanks to George, Jonathan, Allen, Zwaan, Bjoern, and the webworldlings .. .

The Dalzell tug pictured is the DALZELLAIRD built in 1942. The photo of CHANCELLOR with the unidentified U.S. Navy YTM, is how she looked originally owned by the Spentonbush Fuel Transport Service Co., Inc. She was built in 1938 by Ira S. Bushey & Sons, Inc., Brooklyn, N.Y. She was later owned by Kehoe Transportation, & renamed JAMES J. KEHOE. Marty Kehoe had the tug fitted with the retractable hydraulic pilothouse. She was sold to the McHugh Family (Oswego River Towing Line) & renamed CHANCELLOR, before being acquired by the Waterford Maritime Historical Society.

I have many photos of the James J. Kehoe. It was piloted by my dad for many years. My father pushed barges with James thru NYCity up the Champlain Canal system and Erie canal. pludeguyle@yahoo.com

Will,
The Dalzell tug picture at bottom of today’s post is the Dalzellaird. In the 1950s and 1960s there were only 2 Dalzell tugs that looked loke this; Dalzellaird and Fred B Dalzell. The major difference between these 2 tugs was that the Dalzellaird had an oval shaped stack and the Fred B had a rectangular stack with square corners. The Fred B is now the Eliot Winslow in Maine. The Dalzellaird was scrapped by McAllister shortly after McA bought Dalzell in March 1965.

I’ve seen the photo of the Chancellor and the USN tug before. I remember that it was taken the day a NYC tugboat strike ended, and the navy crew that had been working 24/7 was leaving for some leave time.
