Fifteenth Annual
Tugboat Race & Competition

Sponsored by the Working Harbor Committee, the Annual Tugboat Race & Competition is held
on the Hudson River from 72nd Street south to Pier 84 at 42nd Street. Entrants range from
modern 7,000 horsepower workhorses to vintage boats. It is a great day for both participants
and spectators alike. Other activities included a rope toss and shoving matches.
Many tugboat operators make it a family day as the following photos will demonstrate.
Thanks go out to Captain John Doswell and Bernie Ente of the Working Harbor Committee.
