tug boats
I am a newbie at this, and am trying to find out some history of war time tug boats. I grew up on the Saint John River in New Brunswick, Canada towing pulp wood 80 miles to the Irving Pulp Mill in the 60's and 70's. Looking thru my assortment of dusty photos, I relived my boyhood days when I used to work on the tugs. At the time, I understood that they were a TID class and a TANIC class boat. We had 4 of each. I have found history of the TID on here, but can't find the other. The GLEN class tug has a familiar look. Is it possible that this is what the other design was........ or is there still a TANIC class that I have not been able to find. I am eager to find out any info on this and would appreciate any history on these tugs. Johnny Boyd Hampton, New Brunswick, Canada oversizehauler@aol.com
