Histoire
This fish tug was built in 1937 by American Boiler Works in Erie, PA.
Notes historiques
George Schneider (July 2026) writes: A fish tug is purely a fishing boat with no tug boat capabilities, but she obviously was found suitable for conversion to those duties.
She sank pierside on 3 January 2010 at Egg Harbor Marina.
She was salvaged but apparently never used again. Her last documents were expired in 2012.
She was reported sold in 2023, but as of July 2026 remains on McMullen & Pitz property.
