HISTORY 
"Seguin" is the Nation's oldest wooden steam powered tugboat, and is a registered National Historic Landmark. Named after Seguin Island at the mouth of the Kenebec River, she was launched in 1884 in the City of Bath. Measuring over 100 feet in length and 20 feet in width, "Seguin's" hull was originally painted white, and her hardwood cabins varnished. Her original 26 × 26 surface condensor engine was replaced in 1909 with a compound triple expansion engine, giving her a speed of approximately 12 knots. This model was developed from measurements taken from the real vessel, blueprints and photos made available by the Maine Maritime Museum at Bath.
