Operation Sail 2000

On July 4th, Moran invited 400 friends and customers to ride our tugs, the Margaret Moran, the Miriam Moran and the Joan Turecamo, to view the magnificent assembly of ships in New York harbor.

The beauty and history of the great ships of OpSail 2000®, combined with the huge crowd of cheering spectators gathered along the shoreline, made for one uncommonly high-spirited celebration.
