Description: One of only four “Battleship Tugs”—named for their size and 650 horsepower steam engines, it was converted to diesel in 1954. She worked in New York Harbor for 90 years, for Standard Oil Co. out of Bayonne, as part of the McAllister fleet for 35 years, and in 1987 was acquired by Hepburn Marine. Retired in 1997, she is preserved and offers public programs to introduce port life.
