LA/LB Tugboats 1

Call this photo of the 1944 Angels Gate aka ST-695 an establishing shot.

More of the boat here.

Admiral, formerly known as Captain, has been around since 1998.  That’s a significant promotion.

The 4800 hp tugboat measures 97′ x 36′.

 

Barbara Jean Mulholland dates from 2013.

She’s 93′ x 40′ and propelled by 6850 hp.

 

Here she employs indirect towing on an incoming box ship.

More LA/LB, Bay Area, and San Diego to come, as time, personal energy, and wifi allow.

All photos, any errors and omissions of what I once knew, WVD.

Many thanks to George Schneider for assistance.
