We didn’t get thereovernight.

When young W. D. Haden hitched up a team of mulesand began towing vessels up the bayous above GalvestonBay, people said he was daring. Ambitious. Enterprising.

One hundred years later people still usethose same words to describe the Haden familyproducts. And Bay-Houston Towing -- nowthe largest harbor towing fleet on theGulf Coast.

Today our tug fleet services tankers,freighters, aircraft carriers, and off-shore drilling platforms. We offerexperienced, expert service. And thenewest capabilities found anywhereon the Gulf Coast.

In fact, we’ve just added a 4200horsepower SCR diesel electric tug --the first of its kind built for Gulf Coastservice. And three new sister tugsoffering a horsepower range from2,600 to 3,000.

So no matter what yourtowing needs are now orin the future, trust Bay-Houston Towing. We’vebeen making Gulf Coasthistory for over 100 years.
