E.T. Williams (American Harbor Tug, 1898)

E.T. Williams, a 97 gross ton harbor tug, was built in 1898 by Thomas McCluskey of Baltimore, Maryland. In December 1917, when she was owned by the American Towing and Lighterage Company, also of Baltimore, she was inspected by the Fifth Naval District and given the Navy registry ID # 3241. Though ordered taken over for Naval service in August 1918, this action appears not to have been carried out.

This page features our only view concerning the tug E.T. Williams.
