Built in 1925, by the Bethlehem Steel Company Incorporated of Wilmington, Delaware ( hull #3497 ) as the Stroudsburg for the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad of Lackawanna, New Jersey. The tug was later sold, where she was renamed as the Breton, then as the Seminole, and then as the Brigitte Harper. In 1962, the tug was repowered with a Fairbank-Morse 38D diesel engine, for a rated 1,800 horsepower. Later acquired by the Hay's Tug and Launch Company of Wallingford, Pennsylvania, and renamed Big Mama.
