The Teetkalet was delivered to Pope & Talbot Towing of Port Gamble, Washington and is being used to move huge log rafts from storage to the company’s mills. The boat runs 40 feet in length with a beam of 16 feet and a depth of 7 ½ feet. Power for negotiating Puget Sound comes from a Cummins KT-1150 engine linked to Twin Disc MG-514 gears on a 4.5:1 ratio. Engine controls are by Mathers. A Kaplan four-blade, 48-inch stainless steel wheel turns on a four-inch Aquamet shaft through B&J Moose bearings. The wheel is enclosed in a shipyard supplied nozzle which itself is controlled through a Wagner T steering system supplied by the William E. Hough Company of Seattle. The nozzle turns in a 40-degree arc around the middle of the wheel. High maneuverability is achieved by using propeller wash to actually steer the Teekalet. Equipment aboard the Teekalet includes Furuno Mark II radar set, two Raytheon 50A VHF sets, a Ranger 360 depth sounder, Mansfield sanitary, and Racor oil/water separator. Capacities aboard the boat include 2,000 gallons of fuel oil, 200 gallons fresh water, and 50 gallons lube oil. The Teekalet was the second tug for Pope & Talbot, a huge conglomerate involved in ventures ranging from saw mills, to pulp mills, to gold mines located in both the U.S. and Canada. Included is the company’s holdings is the oldest continuously working (since 1853) sawmill in the northern hemisphere owned and operated by the same family. The other P&T tug, Pioneer, is a 62-foot vessel built by Pope& Talbot in the 1940s when the company counted shipbuilding as part of its services. Despite being 22 feet shorter then its older sister, rumor around Port Gamble is the Teekalet showed the Pioneer who was boss not long ago when the two boat’s captains began wondering out loud which boat was more powerful. In a bow-to-bow push-off, the Teekalet was the clear winner.
Ric And Bob Shrewsbury Of Western Towing Purchased The Tug Teekalet II and Barged The Tug From Alaska To Seattle.
Ric And Bob Shrewsbury Had The Tug Teekalet II Painted To Western Towing Colors And The Name Changed To Flyer.
While The Tug Flyer Is A Good Looking Tug It Shines Once It Gets Underway. The Flyer Is Always A Favorite With The Kids When Transiting The Canal Locks.
Towing A Barge Alongside Gives The Flyer It’s Best Handling.
The Flyer Often Tows On A Hawser. While A Short Light Hawser Is Relatively Safe, Towing A Loaded Barge Short Can Be Tripped If Not Careful.
