I'd have to disagree. I think it looks like a boat.

the way the water flows back off the deck (left side of photo) makes the boat look like it is emerging from the water like a crocodile or something

These are Pennsylvania RR tugs, I think the CHESTER and OLEAN, inboard of these were the WILMINGTON an HARRISBURG.

A number of railroad-owned tugs years ago had short stacks, to enable them to travel up the Harlem River and under bridges that were not obliged to open for them as they pushed carfloats and covered barges to and from railroad-owned freight stations in the Bronx. One such railroad tug with a short stack was also one of the very last DL&W steam tugs, the HARLEM.

Hi John, The old steam tugs that were built as coal burners had tall stacks to create a natural draft for the boilers, in later years the oil burning steam boats had blowers on the burners so stacks could be shortened. I guess if a boat was converted from coal to oil burning they could shorten the stack, especially if the tall stack interfered with their operation. The tall stacked older tugs had nice "Traditional" lines.

The part of the boat that is above the water still looks safe enough to explore. I wounder what the inside of the boat looks like. If I could explore the boat I would because the boat looks really cool.
