this looks like a prison ! or kinda
thunderdome-ish...and it's true, in general things built after the 1970's
started to really suck bad in terms of durability, craftsmanship, material
quality, etc. the reasons are manifold..
old growth wood statred to become
more scarce, the mafia gained more control than ever over labor and
contracts, developers being shaken
down, official corruption began to
expand drastically, building inspectors
on the take, all these things add up to
inflate building costs, so guys cut corners, in materials, workmanship,
design, safety, ETC. it was [IS] the price
of doing biz at all in the trades....besides,
that slacker attitude was already infecting the culture, alot of work ethics
went out the window in the 80's...

DUTCHESS and her sisters were doomed because they built a bridge, from Beacon to Newburgh or somewhere near there. Why wait for a ferry when you can rush across a bridge.

For Steve Ray, actually there were some noises on these boats, a brass snap on an old rope would tap against a mast or side of a boat, when it got hot a ventilator would run from the hot air rising, I guess in time rust will stop all these noises but in the 70s there were sounds to be heard, and sometimes they scared you.

These were Pennsylvania RR tugs and had tall stacks, they have just fallen over the years.

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.
