Title: New Harbor Tug
Post by: llamalord on June 27, 2009, 19:05:29

Hello Friends,

I have been working on a new vessel over that last couple of days, four to be precise, and I am ready for the flood of names to come in.  I usually toss out a few names of my own for you to build on but this time I have no idea what the vessel should be named.

This vessel is designed from a real harbor tug but is not an exact match...
