Retiring of Brooklyn




After a recent cut in budgets to keep up with our dying economy, we are going to retire our oldest tug. the Brooklyn has served for 70 years and has had many repairs to it's hull and other parts. the tugs Daisy and Murphy may also be retired, but for now the Brooklyn will retire. she is set to be retired and put into museum tug service July 4, 2009 to commemorate the fourth of july. as for now, she is a coal barge tug that takes coal down into the heart of manhattan.
