A Helping Hand from the Wyoming

I don't normally get to see tugboats when I'm out boatwatching either.  I do think they are cool but they aren't normally my focus when I'm out boatwatching.  I am happy when I see them though.
 As I said in the last post, the Buffalo was under assist from a tugboat.  That tugboat is named the Wyoming.  Here she is giving a hand to the Buffalo.
 She is owned by Great Lakes Towing Company out of Cleveland, Ohio.
 She was born in 1929 and is powered by a diesel engine.  She is 84 feet long and 20 feet wide.
 I love the paint job on her, she has a classic tugboat look.
 And her work done, she gets out of here.
One last shot.

  1. Maybe it's just the angle, or maybe it's normal for tugs, but it looks like the Wyoming is riding pretty low in these photos?
