The Brooklyn was built in
1910 and owned by the New York Dock Co. Steam powered all her career she was
inauspiciously sold for scrap in 1960. She was one of many railroad tugs,
designed to transfer railroad cars from one side of New York to the other on
barges known as car floats. Railroad tugs almost always towed barges alongside,
with one car floating on each side, hence the heavy guards and the use of single
posts instead of H-bitts. Railroad tugs were characterized by long houses
because there was no need of towing space aft.
The Dumas kit of the
Brooklyn is designed to give you the salty appearance of the original boat. Not
just your average tug, the Brooklyn has the characteristics that set the early
tugs apart. You get a vacuum formed plastic hull, all the parts to build the
conventional die cut superstructure, and enough detail (photoetched parts, lots
of castings, brass railings, etc.) to keep you busy through many a long winter
night. If you are one of many who admire the pugnacious spirit of tug boats then
this one is for you. Another classic model from The Model Boat People.
