Excellent build.
The green Tank, on the Starboard side of the Stack, what is it for?
I believe there are different views on what water it may contain, but from Your perspective, what was the use of this Tank for?
Thank You.

A question on Horsepower; (as I have similar rating on my old Tug);
re; "The original tug was built in 1956 engine was 56 nominal horse power ( 1000 indicated horse power )"
What is the correlation between Nominal Horsepower and Indicated Horsepower?
Thank You.

๐ Styrene Allergy?

Not necessarily allergic to Styrene, but many are allergic to CA Glue.
Once a CA Glue sensitivity develops, it is difficult to overcome.
Try masks; try good ventilation.
Even when cutting Styrene, ensure You have good ventilation.

Great Build; Tug Brooklyn has always been my favourite.
For the brass Portholes/Port Lights that You used on the Deck Cabin; where they the ones supplied by Dumas, or bought elsewhere? (They look good.)

I used to get Notifications of Updates to this Site on a Weekly basis; for some reason in the last two weeks I get several Update Notices daily.
I have checked the Notifications frequency in my Profile and nothing changed.
Why is the Site sending out Update Notices for every posting?
How do I revert back to Weekly Notice Updates?
I enjoy Model Boats, however I get far toooooooooooo much e-Mail traffic .
Any insights, are appreciated.
