Well, I finally got to do a little more work on my latest towboat. Visit my build at http://members.tripod.com/towboatjoe/american_viking.htm

Nice work Joe....soon as I make start on mine I'll let you know, although the NY Harbor tug with steam plant is going to be first.
I have the boiler made and certified now, the engines connected and running, really have to get around to sorting out a burner and the fittings for the gas tank.

That harbor tug sounds like a project and a half. Can't wait to see how things come along with it.

Finally got the tow knees built and a couple of ratchets.

I used to get my fire axes at Bluejacket Shipcrafters. They've been discontinued for some time now so I've come up with an easy scratch build for fire axes.

Go to http://www.towboatjoe.com/on_deck.htm toward bottom of page.

Also added a photo of the trash bin and deck winch on the stern of the American Viking http://www.towboatjoe.com/american_viking.htm

Thanks chr900, The camera flash washed out the grab handles that were on the sliding lids on top of the trash bin. I'm going to have to get another photo without using a flash.
