WILLAIM C. MOORE Collection of the late Earl C. Palmer TOMAH (US. 218969) was built by Northwest at Green Bay with engines from Valley Iron Works, Appleton. Federal Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., of Kearny, N.J. bought the tug in 1921 and renamed it FEDERAL NO. 1. D. McAllister of New York next owned it, in 1929, then it belonged to Koppers Coal Co., Boston in 1936 as JUPITER. In 1941 it was owned by Eastern Gas & Fuel Associates, also of Boston, and finally, in 1947, it passed to Lee Transit Co., of New York as LEE. It was junked at New York in 1951. VANGUARD (US. 218514) was also built by Northwest, but had a Montague engine. VANGUARD passed to Wood Towing Co., of Norfolk, Virginia in 1921 without change of name. However, in 1926, Dalzell of New York bought VANGUARD and renamed it DALZELLACE. It remained with Dalzell until abandoned and junked in 1950. C. H. Luffbarry Photo DALZELLACE ADDENDA In conclusion it is noteworthy to recall that with one exception these tugs with their original machinery, had an average useful life of more than thirty years. As we have seen one unit, THOMAS TRACY (ex POTTAWOTAMIE), was lost early, and one was repowered, i.e. GRACE McALLISTER (ex SUAMICO). It is also interesting to note that there were two steel harbor tugs built for the U.S.S.B. by Northwest Engineering Works in 1918. They were identical in hull dimensions and machinery to the wooden harbor tugs already described. These seem to be the only two of their class. sehees
