Tug Wapello

  YN 56, ex- YTN 24, USS Wapello, The tug under construction astern of the WAPELLO is presumably the YTB 174, USS ALLAQUIPPA as their builder's numbers were only one digit apart. The WAPELLO is a Pearl Harbor attack survivor sailing last as the GORGONA II, Panama(?) (Circa 1940's) (Contributed By Larry Wendell via Fred Reep) Photo #1
