Notas históricas
George Schneider (Aug26) Writes: There's every indication this vessel was cut down into a "TALA" tug in the 1980's, meaning a square tug with the footprint of a LASH barge so she could be hoisted aboard a LASH barge carrier and used at underdeveloped ports to move barges. The photo shows her restored to a normal push boat appearance.
