TOILER (W) - (US. 217196) was the only wooden ocean tug built by Northwest Engineering Works at Green Bay. Her engine, in this case a fore and aft compound, with 18" and 38" cylinders and 26" stroke, was also built by Northwest. TOILER was sold by the Shipping Board in 1923 to Thomas J. Howard, New York tug owner, who gave it his own name, THOMAS J. HOWARD. She continued in Howard's ownership until reported disman- tled in 1948. TOOPI (S) - (Us. pa tan ae was built by Northwest at Green Bay and was powered by a triple expansion engine built by Murray at Burlington, Iowa. In 1923 TOOPI was dis- posed of by the U.S. Shipping Board and bought by United States Gypsum Transportation Co. of New York and renamed GYPSUM QUEEN. Three years later Southern Transportation Company of Philadelphia acquired her and renamed her NASSAU. During World War II this tug served the U.S. Army as .L.T. 350. Out of government service around 1950, L.T. 350 was sold Mexican (Petroleos Mexicanos) and renamed PEMEX XIV. No record after 1955. VALLONIA (S) - (US. 219803) was built at Green Bay by Northwest Engineering Works and her engines came from Murray Iron Works of Burlington, Iowa. In 1922 VALLONIA was assigned to the Coast Guard and became USCG tug SAUKEE. She returned to civilian service in 1937 as TROJAN, owned by the Eastern Transportation Co. of Baltimore. TROJAN was scrapped in 1948. WARRIOR (W) is listed here under the only name carried while on the Great Lakes. Originally the hull was a cancelled U.S.S.B. contract with Crowninsheild Shipbuilding Co. of Somerset, Massachusetts. The name assigned originally was HAZARD. When the contract was cancelled Crowninshield sold the empty hull to Quebec and Levis Ferry Company who renamed it ALPHONSE G. (CG. 150622). ALPHONSE G. was then fitted with an old fore and aft engine which had been built back in 1883 for the local ferry POLARIS. POLARIS had been inactive awhile and was being dismantled in 1923 when ALPHONSE G. was acquired. In 1929 ALPHONSE G. was sold back into U.S. Registry, when the Duluth-Superior Dredging Company bought her. She was renamed WARRIOR (US. 229147) at this time. She did dredge-related work until the end of World War II when she was abandoned. NOTE: There were nine steel ocean class tugs which received no names because they were all cancelled before construction, at Northwest Engineering Works, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
