- Preparing to put the Bruce A McAllister back in the water after an overnight repair to a leaking keel cooler at Caddell Drydock, Staten Island NY
For those concerned or curious about the green liquid on the drydock floor, its not antifreeze, just a non-toxic leak detector dye in the cooling system. (fluorescin, sodium)
I don't get to see much shipyard repairs anymore, this is good to watch, thanks for posting it!
2:15 just pause it and look how big that is
I used to work there back in the day!
Yes, EMD 16-645 E2's twirling Falk MR boxes. 3900 HP.
A nice little ship.
BRAVO ! ! !
Did you film this using some type of device to make the video stable? It looks as if a drone filmed it or one of those video camera stabilizers ... Reason I ask is that the video is very smooth, if not whoever filmed it has a steady hand .. Great video though !
+Solar Flarin, no fancy tricks other than having a 6" tripod on the camera that I use like a handle. Otherwise just steady breath, using both hands on the camera and peripheral vision to walk around the drydock. Thanks for the compliment! :)
Amazingly steady! Excellent coverage. Compliments on a fine video.
Not a small tug ...wonder what tonnage/lenght ? Thanks4uploading :)
How long was she missing the outboard stbd flanking rudder?
Good tug and good design. What engine she has and how much her power ? Was she made in america ?
I love that fuckin boat
Must have decent bollard pull with the kort nozzles.
Love tugboats .
Nice one! the props look huge compared to the size of her stern- makes her look quite a powerhouse, EMD`s?
I LOVE IT THE TUGBOATS .
How did that hurricane in NY affect that place?
+Iplay Pearldrums They got flooded out with everybody else up and down Richmond Terrace, but they came roaring right back with a lot of new equipment. A huge pain in the rear, but I think they made out alright, all things considered.
Did Bruce himself film this?

nice props..don't jam them in the sand! ha.
Did not show much. Been in dry docks before if you post make worth while. Thanks
The bottom needs painted w/ red lead.
D Wetick Yup, she got a proper bottom prep and paint.
the tuge no z drive be to no radder
+Yasser Allam Correct, not a Z-drive; those are Kort nozzles. Standard props and rudders.
What the f&%k is that ? how old is she ?
+Alin Cătălin Erm....its a tugboat? Built in 1974
I know what it is ... but she's so old ... even old than me :-))
