Tugs

United States Shipping Board in WWI

Most recent update: July 22, 2014.

Towards the end of the war, contracts were placed for over 1000 wooden ships, tugs and barges, but most of the contracts were cancelled and only 589 ships were completed. Most of those completed were tugs, which were mostly built by established boatbuilders. The boats in this table are listed by builder and EFC number.
