In service with the Ford Motor Co. with her home port of Dearborn, Mich., shown on her life rings. The large Design 1035 tugs sold slowly after World War I and Ford bought seven of them from the Shipping Board between 1925 and 1927. The company later fitted some or all of them with the shorter and wider stack seen here.
