1/18 - Former Gaelic tug in Nassau - Capt. Bill Hoey |

 |
 |
 The former Gaelic Tugboat Company tug Roger Stahl has been renamed Lady Holly and is now in service in Nassau Bahamas. Her primary duty is assisting tankers in and out of the oil docks in the Bahamas. |
 Roger Stahl was sold five years ago to a towing service in Key West, but found little work there. The Key West operation has now sold the tug to a group lead by a harbor pilot at Nassau. Her icebreaking bow design can be clearly seen in the waters of the Bahamas. |

Both vessels were at anchor outside the harbor and waited for the Coast Guard Cutter Alder to come out about 07:30 to break a channel through the ice.
