There are a couple of tuckers in the no Alabama area. Over 60 ft and steel. built like tanks from what I could see. A woman was rebuilding one herself. She wanted OHB to help her but he could not. I guess he is just irresistible. __________________Ed Orton-The Pirate http://members.aol.com/eorton/pirateschest.htm also http://www.thepiratesplace.com EMail: eorton@aol.com

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

50' Tucker Tow Boat 1975 MARY B

Mary B Collides with Delta Queen


Stories from the Delta Queen
BY JOHN JOHNSTON | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
The story has circulated for years: The ghost of Capt. Mary B. Greene haunts the Delta Queen.

"Ma" Greene, as she was known, was the wife of Delta Queen Steamboat Co. founder Gordon C. Greene. She piloted riverboats for 55 years, and died on board the Delta Queen in 1949 at age 81.

Legend holds that Ma Greene would not allow alcohol to be sold on the family's boats, so it wasn't until after her death that a bar was built on the Delta Queen. Some time later, the story goes, a runaway towboat collided with the steamboat and wrecked the bar. The name of the towboat: Mary B.

65' Tucker Riverboat 1988 QUEEN CITY CLIPPER

On August 10, 2005 I met with Captain Dennis New of Queen City Riverboats. He thought Jess Tucker was one of the greatest men he'd ever met. "Amazing". The Queen City Clipper has been in every Tall Stacks Festival in Cincinnati. It has served the purpose of ferrying people and supplies to large Stern-wheelers, such as the General Jackson.

The Queen City Clipper is a passenger barge. It has no means of propulsion, so it is pushed on the river by a towboat. It has all the comforts of a large restaurant. This barge is the sister-ship to the Celebration Queen and The Jubilee Queen.

In 1988 during its maiden voyage, the Clipper was passed by two fast moving Carvers. The Carvers threw such a wake that the cables connecting her to her towboat snapped. The Queen City Clipper spun out of control and hit some island in the Ohio River. It caused a dent she carries to this day.

I have a pamphlet from Queen City Cruises that I need to scan to be able to post a good picture of the boat.

Coast Guard Monitors Spill In Big Bend Channel

TAMPA, Fla. - The Coast Guard received a call at about 9:30 a.m. today from Terry Milligan, a representative from Oscar Renda Contracting, stating that a 27-foot harbor tug from their company sank and was discharging fuel into Big Bend Channel, north of Apollo Beach, Fla.

A crew from Coast Guard Station St. Petersburg arrived on scene at about 11:30 a.m. today to assess the situation and discovered that a mixture of about 200-gallons of oil and diesel fuel had escaped from the sunken tug Marilyn K. McFarland.

Oscar Renda Contracting quickly contained the spill and hired Southern Waste Services (SWS) to clean it up.

The incident is under investigation by Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg's Marine Casualty Investigator. No wildlife have been affected by the spill.
