USACE tug Deland or sister (Design 1036)
This U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Design 1036 tug has no name on her bow or name board but instead has "Corps of Engineers" on her bow. The photo is captioned Deland but could also be her sister Delamar, which became LT 797 in 1944. Two other sisters that left the service in 1931 (Degolia) and 1939 (Major Frazer ex Degrey) are also candidates.

Steam tug Delaplaine (Design 1036)
This photo was published with a 1955 article announcing the replacement of Delaplaine by a new tug after over 25 years of service with an Esso subsidiary (Lago Oil) at Aruba. She had been brought there from Mexico in 1928 to serve a refinery that was then under construction. Her main upgrade during that time was a new boiler.

Steam tug Integrity (Design 1036)
With Carfloat #14 in July 1947, the pilot house of the tug appearing tall enough to see over the rail cars. Both Integrity ex Cockamong and Invader ex Cocheco were bought in the early 1920s by Havemeyer & Elder of New York and served at their Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal (BEDT), until the early 1960s. BEDT carfloats played a major role in railroad freight movement in New York Harbor.

Diesel tug Patrice McAllister
Originally Degrey, this tug served with the Army Corps of Engineers from 1920 to 1939 as Major Frazer. She became Patrice McAllister in 1955 and is shown here as repowered in 1957 with a 1,600 horsepower diesel. She sank in 1976 while being towed to a shipyard in Jersey City, New Jersey, to have her engine replaced and is now a diving attraction.
