In addition to pushing, the Falcon performs exceptionally well as a dredge or yard tender. A new twin-screw towboat h'as Ibeen deliv- ered to Cottrell Engineering Corporation by designer-builder N.E. Insley, Inc. of Crisfield, Md. The Falcon is 40 feet long, 12 feet wide and 5 feet deep. One-quarter-inch steel plate was used in construction of the hull, bulkheads and bulwark. Frames consist of 4 by 3 by J4 angle on 24-inch centers. Two 38-inch-diameter four-blade propellers are turned (by twin Detroit Diesel 6-71 Model engines. The vessel is equipped with a hy- nautic hydraulic steering system. The engine compartment provides full head- room and easy access to both engines. The compartment may be reached by ladder from the pilothouse, as well as by the aft deck stairway. The electrical, hydraulic and mechanical assemblies chosen for installation on the Falcon are durable and free of unnecessary complications. The use of these systems should significantly reduce maintenance and repair time according to N. Edward Insley, shipyard president. The pilothouse affords excellent visibility through two fixed and eight double-hung win- dows. A storage locker is located under the full length sea't/bunk. An unusual amount of usable deck space causes the boat to be imminently suitable for employment as a utility vessel on a wide va- riety of marine construction projects.
