This mighty tugboat is a replica of the 1967 Texaco Tire Chief which was built to serve Texaco's operations in New York harbor.Built by Jakobson Shipyard in Oyster Bay,Long Island,and measured 100 feet in length,a 26 foot beam, and powered by diesels rated at 1600 brake horsepower for maximum performance under pressure.The Texaco Fire Chief was built to the highest specifications of the AMERICAN BUREAU of SHIPPING and was equipped with state of the art navigation devices for the time,including radar and radiotelephone.The tug carried a crew of 8.

It came with chips paint all around the hull, the rudder fell off. Very disappointed. Not worth returning because the boats were for the crew who now work on this very same tug that is now renamed TUG RUBY M. so we dont mind some dings n chips paint.

It's Not a Model
I thought it was a model that you could put together, but it is nit, in fact it is a Bank. Oh well, it will go well with the other Texaco collectibles.

Great Tug Boat Model
This is a very exact scale model. If only I could afford a new one.
