As reported in companion blog Shipfax on July 22, the US flag tug Stephen Dann made a short visit to Halifax on July 16. It arrived with the barge J.G.Burke and sailed later the same day, light tug, heading back to New York.
Approaching the dock the harbour tug Atlantic Oak came alongside the barge and the small tug J.W. Reid stood by.
Built in 1999 by Bollinger Shipyards in Lockeport, LA as Crosby Knight it is a twin screw 3600 bhp Cat powered vessel, acquired in 2016 by Dann Towing of Tampa, FL, and renamed.
It is always intresting to watch how the captain operates the tug from the winch house, using the twin screws to steer as the deck crew tends to the towing line.
