Because of the prevailing northwest winds, sailing ships often employed the Hercules on voyages north along the coast from San Francisco.On other occasions, the Hercules was used to tow barges to other West Coast ports and to Hawaii and to haul equipment for the construction of the Panama Canal.In 1947, the Hercules and the tug Monarch were tasked with towing the hull of the battleship Oklahoma to San Francisco Bay for scrapping. However, 500 miles from Hawaii, they were hit by a powerful storm and the Oklahoma began to fill with water and sink. The Hercules was unable to free itself until the last moment, narrowly avoiding being dragged to the bottom of the sea by the Oklahoma.In 1986 it was designated a National Historic Landmark. It is now one of the exhibits of the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and is docked at the park's Hyde Street Pier.Technical data sheet of the Hercules tugboatScale: 1/50Width: 163 mmHeight: 420mmLength: 915 mm---Attention: Before purchasing the product, we ask you to carefully read the description and look at the photos.
