Annie #38'S Tug Differences Survey Results

Here's what Annie #38's survey tells us:
  • Annie was the last tug with a mast mounted forward of the stack to have aft-swept spreaders. Thistle #47 is Lucy for a forward mounted mast with straight-out spreaders.
  • Two tugs after Annie the portlights went from Bronze to Stainless
  • Not long before Annie the stateroom configuration went from a double to a queen
  • One or two tugs after Annie the yard started installing the king bed configuration but went back to the queen by Thistle Dew #46
  • Annie may be Lucy for the single bench seat in the stateroom (Theodore Bayre #41 might inch her out)
  • Too early to tell but Annie may be Lucy for the Cummins 150hp 
  • Annie my be Lucy for the louvered door style that doesn't have molding between the louvers and door's rails and stiles.
  • Annie may be Lucy for the cabinet door, brass finger latch.
  • According to Craig Kurath, Annie's owner, the Harts specially ordered the unique black marble in her head and shower counter tops.
It looks like a lot of things were changing when Annie was being built. She's definitely the first tug to incorporate many of the changes found on later models. Perhaps this explains why OEY charged $98,982.31 to build her, $30,000 more than the tugs before and after her.  Perhaps this was a one time payment by Loren Hart to Tommy Chen for all the yard's extra work.
