100 ton tug boat, Great Egg Harbor Inlet<br />

Delaware, a tugboat built in Bethel, De., is a rare example of a typical early 20th century Delaware Bay tidewater tugboat.<br />

fertilizer, and coal, were common on <strong>Pine</strong> Barren’s tidewaters until the 1930’s. <strong>NJ</strong>’s <strong>Pine</strong> Barren’s National Reserve tidewater<br />

rivers are narrow, shallow, meandering rivers with post-stamp landings. Tugs like Delaware met larger coastwise vessels and<br />
