    Nice shot. Nice work on that tug as well.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    That's a find! I wonder how old a boat that is?

    The W. O. Decker is a 52 foot[2] wooden tugboat built in Long Island City in 1930 as the Russell I for the Newtown Creek Towing Company.She was originally steam powered before being refitted with a 175 hp diesel engine.[2] In 1986, she was donated to the South Street Seaport Museum in Manhattan, where she remains today under restoration.

    Seeing that boat really "tugs" at my heartstrings.
    Really well seen and a great capture.
    Finding the right angle can be a challenge, but you nailed it!

    Nice to see the "after" picture. A great follow up to your "before" earlier post.

    Thanks for sticking with this refurbishing project and posting the results.

    Beautiful tug...great image!

    Cheers,
