The PY FUBBS, built in 1986 with feathered side wheel buckets is said to be making preparations to attend the celebration of Steam Tug BALTIMORE'S 100th birthday party October 21-22, 2006 in Baltimore Harbour.
The above image shows an earlier PY FUBBS when she plied Ohio waters. Since coming to the Chesapeakem she has been given a livery green hull and lots of gold curley ques.
Stay tuned for further news.

Steam Tug Baltimore
Hi,
Sorry I've been away this long.
The Steam Tug BALTIMORE is now the offical flagship for the Port of Baltimore's 300th anniversary and things are beginning to puck up the pace as we come down the home stretch into October 20-22, and BALTIMORE'S 100th anniversary birthday bash.
We now have an entire gaggle of vertical boiler steam launches and a side wheeler paddle boat PY FUBBS joining the growing procession of vessels. Can you smell the coal smoke yet?
We should know soon whether the former RAF/HMS RED POLE a.k.a. BATZ MARU will be joining us along with the ex ice breaker HMCS NAKOMIS.
You gotta love this stuff. Stand by all lines!
Best Regards,
Walt

I currently own the PY Fubbs and use it regularly in Maryland. She still runs well.
