I am back, I am now leaning towards it being the JUMBO a tug owned by cornell towing. This is a very old iron hull I feel, look at the lack of wasting on it. Very little deep rusting. Studied my photos and it looks to be where I last photographed the JUMBO, anybody out there have a decent photo showing the hull on the JUMBO? That could solve the mystery. I just ordered a book on Cornell so that, I hope, should have a decent photo of JUMBO. To be continued.

Dont hold me to it yet but....I think it may be a New York Central tug. The location is correct and I looked at some old movies taken at Wittes yard and it looks like the same hull with the tell tale green house on it. Let me do a little more research.

These shots remind me of my Grandpa's Naval ship in San Fransisco, I think it was a battle ship by the name of The Marianna

I would have to toss a grenade in there before I would go in that door. Lets'em know you mean business.
