I hadn't known of the predecessor, but I did know, or think I know, of at least one other Tug Baltimore that was contemporary with *this* Tug Baltimore. Would such a thing be possible?

I have two old picture postcards showing "Tug Baltimore" in a form that resembles the one we know & love -- one on the harbor, one in a graving dock. I scanned these and included 'em in my slideshow, "Tug Preservation 101," v.8, but someone said no, they're not THE Tug Baltimore, they're some other Tug Baltimore. He cited detail differences in things like skylights and such. I'd like to get the scoop on the identity of these other two "Tugs Baltimore" to see if I can get the scans back into v.10 of the show (I pulled 'em from v.9, owing to the uncertainty).

I haven't figured-out a way to attach or embed the scan with this msg. I'm sure both postcard views are familiar to hardcore Tug Baltimore supporters, but maybe it'd be helpful if I could post 'em here on the site somehow.
DON.
