Last I heard, the Alabama had arrived home safely in Vineyard Haven. I thought I would end this series with a tip-of-the-hat to the tugboat Gwendolyn. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find much information on her.
I have learned she was built in 1975 and is owned by Gwenmor Marine of Mystic. She is 50 feet long, and is the only working tug in operation along the Mystic River that I am aware of.
If you are as fascinated by tugs as I am, be sure to visit Tugster; a New York Harbor waterblog! Will does an excellent job covering New York's sixth borough, along with other ports of call.

What a great tug, straight out of one of Bowsprit's drawings!
burlsdon,
I agree! I've become such a fan of bowsprite and Tugster.
Sorry for the delay in responding. Very weak wifi signal aboard the boat. Leaving messages always locks everything up.
