LA/LB Tugs 2

Darrell Hiatt works in the port moving bunkering barges.  She seems quite similar to Jillian Irene in the Bay area.

 

The next four boats have a somewhat similar appearance.  See if you can guess their relative ages, oldest to newest.

Delta Audrey is a ship assist boat in the port, 100′ x 40′ and 6800 hp.

 

Delta Billie seemed to get abrupt change of orders.

She’s got the same horsepower  and breadth as Delta Audrey, but is 7′ shorter.

Delta Theresa is also shorter than Delta Audrey, and operates with 5350 hp.

 

Rounding it out for this post, Independence is 73′ x 34′ and 5080 hp.
