The W.O. Decker! New York City's very own little wooden tug boat that keeps on tugging! This video features Captain Jonathan Bouleware, South Street Seaport Museum President with cameos from Captain Charlie Deroko who has worked in various capacities with W.O. Decker for more than 4 decades and Jesse Lebovics, Director of Historic Ships, who oversaw W.O.'s recent $1.3 million restoration.

The last wooden tugboat to sail in NYC sits on the East River, and after more than a decade, it's back to offering rides to passengers.
