Untitled Plan for a Seagoing Tug ... March 25, 1918
Draft preliminary design plan for a tug prepared by the Bureau
of Construction & Repairs Preliminary Design staff. This
drawing represents one of two types of seagoing tugs being considered
for construction at the time. (There is no drawing in this collection
of the second type, a 150-ft. steel tug.) This plan provides
for a wooden vessel, apparently derived from plans and specifications
for a 25-foot longer merchant tug obtained from the commercial
firm of Cox and Stevens (according to papers in Preliminary Design
Book No.196 at the National Archives.) No ship of this type was
built.
This plan provides no identified armament and steam machinery
in a ship 112 feet 8 inches long on the waterline and 26 feet
4 inches in beam. This draft drawing does not provide speed and
displacement estimates.
Note: The original document was pencil on linen (black
on white).
The original plan is in the 1911-1925 "Spring Styles Book".
