New York’s Tug Service.

New York harbor has about 400 tugboats and the average run Is about S3O a day. This makes a dally business of $12,000, or $72,000 a week, or $3,744,000 a year, which gives us an idea of the amount of shipping that is handled in port annually. As many as 300 ships have entered that harbor in a day. The price of a tug ranges between $3,000 and $12,000. A firgt-class twentyIncher, with hull and engines right. Is worth SIO,OOO.
