Description
Launched by the Cornell Steamboat Company, the George W. Washburn, was made to move barges and cargo, like stones, sand, and bricks up and down the Hudson River between Albany and New York City.During her early years, she was considered the fastest tug on the Hudson. Along with being a "working cargo tug",she took on paying passengers,so her appearance was kept up. It was said that a Cornell Steamboat could be identified from great distances by the yellow and black color of the smoke stacks. Sad to say, however, that the George W Washburn and Cornell Steamboat Company are no longer around today.
