Log Books

Many manuals and log books were still in the bridge. I remember reading when the ship had passed through ports in South America.

My guess is it is the HILA a former US Navy rescue tug, there were three in the yard, two were bought from the Navy by Meseck towing and Hila who I dont know off hand who operated it. My guess is these boats were steam boats and required more people to operate that diesels, also boilers are constant ly in need of inspections, repairs, cleanings ect. I guess as diesel boats cam available the steamers were layed up. Junk yards like these bought operable tugs for one dollar each. Owners wanted to get rid of them and there was not much of a market for these old steam boats.

And they left all that history behind. What a shame.

My hats off to the person who took all of these pictures. You are doing something I wish I could do. I used to live near Galveston, TX & have a 19-foot power boat, but there are no real wrecks around Galveston. Just a couple of masts sticking up out of the water, old trawlers & such. Super super cool.
