The tow was ... fractious ... for lack of a better word. The hull was riding higher all the time as the crew worked the pumps. As the seawater went ov...rboard, there was less resistance. The missing rudder (it was hung from pintles and fell off when the boat capsized.) meant the hull had a tendency to zig-zag. Eventually, the drunken stagger made the turn into the harbor. The wharf was long enough to take both boats.Boatman had to supply lines and fenders for both hulls.
