STBaltimore: The tug referred to as the Timmins, is actually the Thomas F. Timmons which the Hilken Brothers bought for the Eastern Forwarding Company, the Baltimore front for the whole Deutsche Ozean Reederei project. The EFCO on the stack, which the press often confused with the tug's real name, stood for Eastern Forwarding Co. The name Thomas J. Timmins is on the stern of the tug in the photo above, but the quality of the post probably makes it impossible to read. Are you saying that this boat is actually the quarantine boat, Timanus? If so, they are two different vessels.
