"Tugboat Meridian Up On The 'Ways - February 24th"

I first spotted her up on the 'ways on February 24th. She had most of her tire-bumpers removed and the work on spiffing up her hull was underway. She looked her age (she was built in 1971) with lots of dents and corrosion.. hallmarks of a hard working tug.. Yesterday I was up at Gloucester Marine Railways and she was still up on the 'ways but looking a whole lot better. Her hull was patched where needed, a fresh coat of paint had been applied along with new sacrificial zinc anodes on her hull. Her many tire-bumpers had been re-hung. Under her stern were two new gleaming propellers.. She looked like a boat that was almost ready to get back at it..
