Capt. Harry Delivered

On December 19, 2001, Washburn & Doughty Associates, Inc. of East Boothbay, Maine delivered Capt. Harry, a 4200HP Z Drive Tug, to Wilmington Tug of Wilmington, Delaware. Designed by Robert Allan Ltd., this ASD 25/55 Class Tug measures 80'x32'. It will be used primarily for ship docking; however, an extended keel will allow for operation as an escort tug in the indirect mode.

Wilmington Tug operates 5 tugs and in 1977 became the first operator in North America to operate a Z Drive Tug. Wilmington Tug's newest vessel is the ninth Z Drive Tug built by Washburn & Doughty since the Fort Bragg was constructed for Cape Fear Towing in 1998.

Two Detroit Diesel model 12V4000 main engines rated at 2100HP at 1800RPM power the vessel. The engines drive modular Ulstein Aquamaster 1350H Z Drives that are removable through soft patches in the aft deck. The main engines are keel cooled with Fernstrum gridcoolers.

Capt. Harry features a Timberland model A180-1-60EVC hawser winch; two Nabrico model 60-11 barge winches; and a Burrard vertical capstan.
