YTL
602 NOTE: (Unofficially
named COCHECO) the YTL-602 has been in Maine for its
whole life. Since most harbor tugs get their names
from small cities named after American Indians,
or tribes, it was given the name "Cocheco". The name comes from a
river that feeds the Piscataqua River on the
border of Maine and New Hampshire. (Information provided
by Kurt Horst, BM1, USN) With more YTL-602 Photos |
