Great Lakes Towing

Christens 250-Ton Drydock

The Favorite, a 250-ton steel drydock owned and operated by

The Great Lakes Towing Com- pany, Cleveland, Ohio, was re- cently christened. It is reportedly the largest Lake Erie drydock spe- cifically designed for commercial small craft, such as tugboats and floating equipment.

Mrs. Ronald C. Rasmus, wife of the president of The Great Lakes

Towing Company, sponsored the drydock by shattering the tradi- tional bottle of champagne. She was assisted by Matrons of Honor

Mrs. Frank Fauver and Mrs. W.

Joe White.

The Favorite, constructed at The

Division Avenue, Cleveland, is 90 feet long with a distance between wing walls of 36 feet.

Capable of performing extensive marine repairs and maintenance for its own fleet of 39 tugboats,

The Great Lakes Towing Com- pany Shipyard will now expand its services to include the commercial drydocking of tugboats, floating equipment, fishing boats and yachts. W. Joe White, manager of the shipyard, stated that "the Fa- vorite will make sorely needed commercial drydocking services available in the Cleveland area since heretofore the nearest dry- dock for small craft was in Detroit."

Sealing.

Because stern tube seals take a beating, you need confidence that they won't fail when you're miles from port. You'll get it when your ships are equipped with EG&G Sealol split stern tube seals.

Dependable? You bet they are — these seals have been fully tested and qualified by the U.S. Navy for all surface ship appli- cations. They're built by the company that makes every stern tube seal for U.S. Navy nuclear submarines. And each seal incorporates the precision and experience of over four decades of EG&G Sealol aircraft sealing technology. seals: al and repair without pulling the shaft, cost-efficient maintenance, d radial shaft movement, er water lubricated systems, is needed — service maintenance is routine, tube seals can help keep your ships operating more dependably — tact EG&G Sealol, Engineered n up, Warwick, Rl02888. ^K^EGzG SEALOL
