Carrying on its noted tradition,

Federal Barge Lines recently added a new super towboat to its fleet.

The M/V J.S. McDermott is shown pushing a large tow on the lower

Mississippi. The McDermott is one of the largest Hydrodyne towboats ever built by St. Louis Ship, as well as the largest and most powerful towboat in Federal's fleet. Federal

Barge pioneered the concept of the "super towboat," when it built the 9000 HP M/V United States in 1958, and the 9000 H P M/V America in 1960. Whether your needs are for a very large towboat, or for a small one, St. Louis Ship will engineer, design and build a Hydro- dyne towboat of maximum efficiency to satisfy your requirements. Please call us at (314) 638-4000. n
