Tugboat Roys Boys moving through Gloucester Harbor this morning
An excellent website for tugboat enthusiasts: TugboatInformation.com
“Roys Boys was built in 1967, by the Morehead Marine Corporation of Morehead City, North Carolina, as the Cap’n Ed for the Norfolk Dredging Corporation of Norfolk, Virginia.
In 2016, the tug was acquired by the Tucker Roy Marine Towing and Salvage Incorporated of Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. Where she was renamed as the Roy Boys.
She is a twin screw tug, rated at 900 horsepower.”

A photo of her when she was the Cap’n Ed–don’t you think she’s so much sharper looking today?
