November, 1926 MARINE REVIE W Among the achievements of the Moran Towing @ Transportation Company, of New York, a remarkable towing job by their powerful tug “Susan A. Moran,” of 1100 h.p., stands out prominently. In 19 days of constant towing, the steel tanker ““Pyrula, with water ballast equivalent to 75,000 barrels of oil, was successfully towed from New York to Caracas Bay in the Dutch West Indies—a distance of 2200 miles. Extremely rough weather was encountered. At the end of the voyage it was found that the metal thimbles had almost closed and pulled straight, and the shackle pins were so bent that it was necessary to free them with a hack saw—indicating the severe strain withstood by the hawser. For this outstanding towing performance a new. 1Q#t.. circumference Whitlock FIBORE hawser of 200 fathoms was used; ‘shackled to another 200 fathom line of the same size and construction which had previously given more than a month's service. The captain of the “Susan” stated that Whitlock FIBORE hawsers are the strongest and best he has ever used and that he had never before seen a 10” cir. line accomplish any such task as did the FIBORE rope in this case. Incidentally, both hawsers continued to give satisfactory service long after this job was completed. The Moran Company have permitted us to state that they are greatly pleased with all the rope purchased from us, constituting the bulk of their cordage requirements for a considerable time—particularly our patented FIBORE hawsers.
