Tug Jupiter (1902) Length: 101 ft. overall Beam: 22 ft. Draft: 9 ft. 4 in. Tonnage:147 gross tons The tug Jupiter was built in the Philadelphia shipyard of Neafie and Levy in 1902. Built out of charcoal iron, she was made for the Standard Oil Company and christened Sacony #14. From 1902 to 1939, she was in service in New York, towing Standard Oil fuel ships and barges. In 1939, she was purchased by Independent Pier Company to work in Philadelphia. After World War II, she was converted from a steam tug to diesel, using the salvaged engine from a decommissioned Landing Ship Tank (LST). In 1999, the Jupiter was purchased by Penn's Landing and turned over to the care of the Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild. Currently, she takes part in educational programs, festivals, and boat parades. Jupiter is also used as a functioning tug, moving the Ship Guild's other vessels. The operation and maintenance is performed by a volunteer group of active and retired tugboat professionals and enthusiasts.

Charles W. Morgan - Whaling ship In the 1840s, a Quaker whaling merchant named Charles W. Morgan ordered a whaleship from the shipbuilders of Jethro & Zachariah Hillman of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Morgan's maiden voyage began on September 6, 1841. She sailed around Cape Horn and cruised the Pacific Ocean. On Morgan's three year and four month voyage, she came home with 2,400 barrels of whale oil and 10,000 lbs of whalebone, known as baleen, which was worth around USD$56,000. In her 80 years of service, she would make 37 voyages ranging from nine months to five years. Charles W. Morgan, in total, brought home 54,483 barrels of whale oil and 152,934 pounds of whalebone. She also sailed in the Indian and South Atlantic Oceans surviving ice & snow storms, and her crew survived a cannibal attack in the South Pacific. Between 1888 and 1904 she was based in San Francisco. Built: 1841, JETHRO AND ZACHARIAH HILLMAN, FAIRHAVEN, MASSACHUSETTS.
