Built in 1948, in New Orleans, Louisiana as the John Cushman. The tug was later acquired by the Boston Fuel Transportation Company of East Boston, Massachusetts (a subsidiary of the Reinauer Transportation Company of Staten Island, New York.) She was renamed as the Brian C. In 1979, she was acquired an undisclosed interest, based in Miami, Florida, where the tug retained her name. On November 13th 1979, the tug foundered in a storm 40 nautical miles off Cape May, New Jersey. In 1990, the tug was discovered in 150 ft of water southeast of Cape May, New Jersey.
