Eleanor Smith News

Smith Brothers, Inc., Chesapeake Bay-based barge and marine equipment charter company, recently added the tug Capt. Kenneth to its fleet of inland and truckable tugs. With the 99-year-old namesake looking on alongside his son, Jeffrey Smith, company president, Eleanor Smith christened the vessel after her grandfather, Kenneth. "This boat reflects the hard work and commitment of the Smith Brothers team," said Jeffrey Smith. The Capt. Kenneth  is 50' x 19' x 7.5" with an operating draft of 6'. The shallow draft enables the boat to move barges anywhere in the Chesapeake and its tributaries.
