McAllister Brothers

Is New Name For

Baker-Whiteley Towing

The name of the Baker-White- ley Towing Company, which has been synonymous with the Port of Baltimore since 1878, was changed recently to that of its owners, McAllister Brothers, Inc.

Another change will be the painting of their fleet to corre- spond with the well-known colors and stack insignia of the McAl- lister fleets in the other ports of the world where they operate.

Since acquiring the Baker-

Whiteley organization, McAllister has added two tugs to the Balti- more fleet, one of which is the 3,000-hp Grace McAllister. These additions have increased the com- pany's ability to handle the larg- est ships calling at the Port of

Baltimore.

Capt. Thomas J. Murphy Jr., president of the Baker-Whiteley

Towing Company, will continue to be in charge of the Baltimore of- fice as a vice president of McAl- lister Brothers, Inc.
