Description: Towing machine in the aft compartment on the tug Hercules. This large, steam-powered winch payed out the towing wire when the tension got too high and reeled in the slack when tension reduced, allowing the tug to tow heavy ships in foul weather without the wire parting from sudden strains. (per accompanying sign)
