Built in Bath, Maine during
1884, the Seguin tugboat was named for an island at the mouth
of the Kennebec River. She was 88 feet long, with a beam of 20
feet and a top speed of 12 knots. |
 |
 |
Her 85 year career consisted
of towing sailing vessels and barges laden with coal, lumber
and ice along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Virginia.
She retired in 1967 with
her pilothouse still serving today as a concession stand at the
Maine Maritime Museum in Bath.
