The "Century", a Witte Heavy Lift owned by DonJon Marine, is seen here using all her steam to winch the cabled tug "Morton S. Bouchard, Jr." back above water. The maroon Sanchez tug next to her "The Chief" provides steady reassurance. The Chief was subsequently sold to C & M Marine Towing Inc of Bristol, RI and last reported to be flying the Spanish flag. The Century was lost beneath the waves October 13, 1990 during Hurricane Lili while being towed 500 miles off Savannah enroute to a salvage job in Puerto Rico. |
