The Franklin is an excellent example of the slow and sturdy design that made early twentieth century salvage tugs the hearty, sea-going beauties that they are. She takes her name from a real salvage tug called the Foundation Franklin, which served out of Newfoundland and was featured in the Farley Mowat book, "The Grey Seas Under". Though she is inspired by the old-school, single screw tugs, she has been kitted out with some creature comforts that make her more suitable to completing missions in game. I welcome your use of the Franklin with no credits needed. All I ask is that you share what you make out of her with me directly so that I can appreciate your work.
Enjoy!
