The Lipan Story |
The History
that I have concerning Lipan is fragmented but I pickup bits here and there
from former crewmates and other tugboaters (be sure to checkout the sea stories
below). Once I have tackled the
more pressing issues of keeping this website running I'll do some research
into it but for now this is the information at hand. Any info you can
send my way would be deeply appreciated. Some
info was supplied by NAFTS member, Jim Perkins, who has researched and compiled
many fine books on Tugs. If you are interested in obtaining
a book from Jim you may email him at - - - > >
