A little history about W.O. Decker:


Net Tonnage: 18 Length: 52 ft. Breadth: 15 ft. Depth: 5.6 ft. Horsepower: 175 Draft: 6

The wooden tugboat W.O. Decker was built in Long Island City, Queens in 1930 for the Newtown Creek Towing Company, a firm specializing in berthing ships and barges in the creek that separates Brooklyn and Queens. One of the last steam-powered tugs built in this harbor, she was later refitted with a diesel engine. In 1986, the W.O. Decker was donated to the Seaport Museum New York.
