27th Annual Great North River Tugboat Race & Competition For all the results, click here
Thank you to all the tugboat companies and their crews that came together to make this a spectacular event for all New Yorkers. It was an exciting race with only 20 seconds between the first- and second-place win in the Class A tugboat category. Congratulations to the Vinik No. 6, Vinik Marine, on your first place win! And the Ava M. McCallister, McAllister Towing, for second place.
The Circle Line Sightseeing spectator vessel ran along side the race with guest speakers John McCluskey and Gordon Cooper on board narrating the action as it happened. And we were honored to welcome CDR Jake Hobson, USCG, Sector New York, and Max Taffet, NYCEDC, as our special guests on the vessel. 2019 Line Throw

Ship Wavertree, launched in Liverpool in 1885, was one of the last large wrought-iron sailing ships built. After carrying cargoes to and from ports around the world, she was dismasted in a storm off Cape Horn and used as a floating warehouse in Chile, then as a sand barge in Argentina. Wavertree was acquired by the South Street Seaport Museum in 1968. Naima Rauam website: http://artpm.com
