THE ALBATROSS.
The Albatross is the name of a new fishing-tug which John Gregory, the eminent shipbuilder, has constructed at Doolittle & Olcott’s ship-yard, near Van Buren street bridge, and which will be launched in a few days. She is of a beautiful model, and excellently adapted for the business in which she is to embark. Her owners are Messrs. Schultz & Stahl, of this city. The following are her dimensions: 50 feet keel, 14 feet beam, 6½ feet hold.
The tug Albatross was built during June 1876 in Chicago, IL by John Gregory. Her gross weight was 29.57 tons. First enrollment, PE 111, issued at Chicago, IL, on June 10, 1876. Original owner was R. Schurtz et al.
