Built in Brooklyn in May 1944, it was actually 26 metres long and played a part in the restoration of the destroyed port of Le Havre until October 1946. It was subsequently transferred to the Port of Le Havre and was used as a dredger until 1981 (source: https://www.lehavreseine-patrimoine.fr/patrimoines/patrimoine-militaire/remorqueur-americain-us-st-488)
