Hercules Steam Tugboat
Hyde Street Pier
Aquatic Park
Built 1907

beginning with her maiden voyage through the Straits of Magellan towing
her sister ship. Her cargoes included logs, sailing vessels, and large

20th-century ocean-going steam tugboat, Hercules recalls their role in
waterborne transportation....
