  • My wife's father, George Kehoe, just passed away a few days ago. He was 78. He and his brothers, Clayton and Martin operated the Kehoe tugs in NY Harbor, as well as the NY and VT inland canal system. I was researching for videos today to find a good video to use in a multimedia presentation at a family gathering we are having after his funeral.

    With your permission, I would like to use this video as the center of that presentation. Thank you on behalf of the Kehoe family in Vermont.

  • I miss the NY and working in the harbor .. I too am a merchant marine, but was convicted of a felony in 07.. I have not touched the water since.. I worked on the water for 18 years.. maybe one day I will get back there

  • Two weeks on, two weeks off, you lose half your life on the water. The average worker only loses one third of his life at work and has free time every day. Sounds like a hard life. Kinda like a fireman. Why not just do 8 hour days? Or even four, ten hour days? The system must work. They've been doing it since the first ship sailed, I imagine. I'm surprised the companies haven't tried to do away with something that works. It's shocking really. They've ruined everything else.

  • great job i must have missed this one as i know john is on another boat and jack has moved on to another company. You're starting to look likke your father John,lay of the bryiers ice cream lol.Capt John was instermental i my career as a tug capt. he helped me out when i started at Eklof on deck,I will always have fond thoughts when i think of working with john or his dad Jack smooth salin Jeff

  • Same tug I learned to deck on... great boat (although the AB's room is a broom closet LOL). Great to see the work publicized!

  • nice i love this

  • BRAVO ,  I love it the tug boat .

  • My compliments to whomever it may concern. What a great short film... I'm also in favor of never removing this video from YouTube. Thanks for filming it, for it was a pleasure to watch... As for the Falcon, and her crew, I wish you fair winds, following seas, & many a star filled nights...  Capt. Mitchell
