This is the third in a series by Racing Champions/Ertl Collectibles in the new "Tugboat" series! The Texaco "American" tugboat was built in 1918 by The Texas Steamship Company in Bath, Maine. It was delivered to its home port in January 1919 and was utilized in the Bayonne-Portland, Maine trade. Equipped with two 500 pound anchors and an 18 person lifeboat, this 168 ton tug boasts an average sea speed of 10.5 knots and a steaming radius of nearly 1500 miles.
