For operation in Cook Inlet in con
nection with the building of the gov
ernment railroad in the North, the
Alaskan engineering commission will
soon place an order for a single screw7
seagoing tug with a length of 90 to
100 feet.
The tug designed is to have a beam
of 19 to 25 feet and a depth of 9 to 11
feet, the lesser depth being preferred.
The specifications also require that
fhe vessel shall be equipped with triple
expansion or fore and aft compound
engines of indicated 450 to 500 horse
power. Preference will be given to
coal burning boilers. The commission
requires that the tug shall be deltv
ered in time to begin work in Cook
Inlet May 1. Alternate bids on a
lighter draft vessel are asked.
When taken to Cook Inlet the tug
will be placed in service handling
barges from ships to the shore and
assisting ships to berth. Power and
steering ability are two of the chief
requisites, the inlet having strong tide
currents.
