Project Tug;

These pictures are of the Colinette.   One photo is the finished product and the other is in the project mode. Steve Briggs has the history of the Colinette with a lot more pictures.  It is a fine looking vessal and a great deal of engineering went into this project. The photo's are from the Gerry Ouderkirk collection. Go to our links and pull up  "Steelcraft Russel Tugs" by Steve Briggs and you will get the whole story on this project as well as more Russel Tug pictures. Steve has done an excellent job with this site, you will enjoy it.
