PENN NO. 7

Built in 1951, at Port Jefferson, New York as the Penn No. 2 for Penn Maritime.

The tug was later renamed as the Morania No. 7 . However, she sunk shortly after being put in service. The tug had too much hawser paid out and she was tripped by her tow.

She was later salvaged and rebuilt. This included the removal of some of her cabin. The tug was put back into service as the Penn No. 7 .

In 1971, the tug left for Norfolk, Virginia and vanished.
(Fred R., William Lafferty)
