Tugboat Parade — Waterford Tugboat Roundup

A Tugboat Parade will kick off the start of the 2021 Tugboat Roundup. The parade starts at 3:30pm in Albany. Moving north up the Hudson River will be working tugs from New York State Marine Highway, Carver Companies, and C.D. Perry Companies, privately owned tugs like the 8th and the Shoofly, as well as other vessels including the Port of Albany’s Spirit of Albany. Hand built mini tugs like the Ko-Hog and Toot Toot, and will join above the Federal Lock in Troy. Fire companies from along the Hudson will escort the parade in the water and provide water curtains from the shore. This is a magnificent display of New York’s maritime industry.
