T.B. McClintic under construction
Tug T.B. McClintic was built as a boarding tug for the U.S. Public Health Service by Bath Iron Works in 1932.  Although a small tug, she was a significant vessel for the shipyard.  The construction of the tug T.B. McClintic and another small vessel, the lighthouse tender Hickory, were critical to Bath Iron Works' ability to reduce lay-offs and continue operations during The Great Depression.
