Photographed on the New Orleans waterfront in August 1921, the tug HULVER belonged to W.G. Coyle & Co., a firm that operated boats for the port's busy river traffic. The photographer, Teunisson of New Orleans, numbered the print 4, though the details on the original caption card are unverified. Tugs like this one were a familiar sight on the Mississippi, guiding large steamers and barges to their berths at a time when New Orleans ranked among the country's leading ports. The picture offers a useful glimpse of the working vessels that kept the river commerce moving.
