I had the opportunity recently while staying at the Service Campground at Coffeeville, Al to get some drone shots of this beautiful tug boat pushing downstream towards the Coffeeville Lock and Dam.
According to Tug boat.com this boat was built built in 2021, by Blakeley BoatWorks of Mobile, Alabama. or Cooper Marine and Timberlands Corporation of Mobile, Alabama.
The Gretchen V. Cooper is 106′ long, 33′ wide with a hull depth of 11′.
She is a twin screw tug boat rated at 3400 horsepower.
She has capability to carry 44,200 gallons of fuel and 10.000 gallons of potable water.
This is a beautiful modern tug boat that appears more than capable of getting the job done moving up and down the rivers.
If you have further information on this boat please feel free to comment and let us know about it.
