Historische Notizen
George Schneider (Aug 2026) writes: This is one of a long series of "canal style" tugs, with low stacks and telescoping wheelhouses. The wheelhouse reportedly still "worked like a breeze" in 2024.
She was the first tug to qualify for Subchapter M when fitted with an open knife-switch DC Switchboard.
