DESPATCH #9 – Diesel Harbor Tug

The Despatch was constructed from an Army design; 85' Motor Tug designated Army ST (small tug). The original design plans for the tug are in the Army Transportation Museum in Fort Eustis, VA. The Museum also has a model of the Army tug on display. There are some differences between the Army tug design and the Despatch, changes required by the owner no doubt. Primarily, the Despatch has a different towing winch and capstan, and some minor differences in the deck house compartments. The Army version also has railings on the pilot house top and two machine guns, and there is a lifeboat carried on the upper deck.
Includes:  Pre-shaped machine carved solid wood hull, deck house and superstructure.  Other parts include dowels, strips, sheets and blocks.  Over 80 cast Brittania metal fittings along with plans with written instructions also included.
