San
Pedro Basic Kit
San
Pedro is a single screw harbor tug operated by Wilmington Transportation
of Los Angeles/Long Beach, California. She was built in 1967 at
which time she was the most powerful tug in the port of Los Angeles.
In 1995, with increased competition from twin-screw and tractor
type tugs, it became necessary to perform a major refit on her that
included the addition of a 360 degree azumithing bow thruster, a
kort nozzle, and three rudders. This transformed her into a "Combi-tug"
and made her arguably the most maneuverable and useful tug in the
harbor.
The
Harbor Models semi-kit includes a 1-piece fiberglass hull with
bulwarks molded on, plywood deck, fiberglass superstructure, smokestack,
smokestack platform and pilothouse, as well as a cast polymer
fitting set that includes doors, life rings with brackets, portholes,
hatches, scuttles and more. Comes with full size plans, and construction
booklet.
