Description	Port view of a tugboat alongside a barge on which a section of bridge is loaded. Lettering on the bridge section and barge reads: "MERRITT-CHAPMAN & SCOTT CORPORATION". 'KINETIC" is painted on the bow of the tug.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Kinetic was built by Robert Palmer & Sons in 1908 as a steam towboat. Her original name was Henry G. Crew. The renamed boat had a series of New York City owners through 1939. The Palmer family's shipbuilding and repair facility, in operation from the mid-19th century until 1914, was one of the most prominent on the east coast. It was incorporated under several names and experienced substantial growth in the second half of the 19th century, specializing in the production of utilitarian barges and floats. At the time depicted in this view, the yard employed 400 men on average. Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corporation is a marine engineering, construction and salvage firm formed in 1922 when Merritt & Chapman Derrick & Wrecking Company merged with T.A. Scott Company of New London.
