Curious about a career in the recreational boating industry?
PT boats 1 and 2 were a 59' Crouch design built by Fogal Boat Yard Inc. They were powered by by two V2500-2 1200 horse power Vimalert engines, produced by the Stirling Engine Company. The boats never saw service as PT boats due to performance problems. On December 1941, the Navy changed their classification to that of small boat (C-6083 and C-6084 respectively). Ex-PT 1 was shipped to the Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons Training Center, Melville, Rhode Island. Packard 4M-2500 engines were installed, and the boat was used throughout the war as a familiarization for motor machinists. Ex-PT 2 was assigned as an auxiliary craft at the Naval Torpedo Station, Newport, Rhode Island. more
PT 70 was a 76' boat built by Higgins. It was dubbed the "Higgins Dream Boat". It was powered by three Packard 4M-2500 engines. This boat was not placed in service as a PT. It was reclassified as a Yard Patrol / District Patrol Vessel, YP 107, September 24, 1942. [links]
PT's 71 through 94 were 78' boats built by Higgins. They were powered by three Packard 4M-2500 engines. PT's 85-94 were built for Russia although most were reassigned to England. [links]
The second Plywood Derby was held on August 12, 1941 to satisfy officials and entrants of a fair test. Before the derby, the Higgins PT 70 was repaired and the USN's PT 8 was lightened by replacing the overly heavy fixtures and fittings. The test was held at the same location on the same course except it started at Race Rock instead of Sarah�s Ledge. The distance remained the same. Sea conditions were more satisfactory, lumpy with heavy cross swell. These heavy swells ran from six to eight feet tall, with occasional swells of ten to twelve feet. The heavies and conditions encountered on the run were short steep seas running as high as fifteen feet. There were only six entries for this run:
“The only reason they were on schedule was because we came in and we rescued them,” Mr. Beaver said.
One of the shipyards that produced 10 of the boats is in such poor financial straits that it may go bankrupt. And the owner of a company that provided many of the workers who helped meet the city’s deadlines says he is owed nearly $800,000 and wants to hold Mr. de Blasio and other city officials accountable for his plight.
The shipyard was struggling this spring to keep up with the demanding schedule Hornblower had set for finishing the fleet, Mr. Beaver said. So, at Mr. Volpe’s behest, he agreed to triple the number of workers he sent to the shipyard, he said.
Mr. Beaver said he was invited into the project by an executive of Hornblower, the company the city had hired to create and operate the ferry fleet. He said that executive, Junior Volpe, oversaw every aspect of the ferry construction at Horizon Shipbuilding’s yard in Bayou La Batre, Ala.
