We are saddened to hear of the passing of Captain Brian McAllister. Captain McAllister was a long time champion and member of the Maritime Association while also being a beloved member of the New York Maritime Community. He cared deeply for the men and women who worked with him on the water. Our thoughts are with the entire McAllister Towing family during this difficult time. https://www.mcallistertowing.com/about-mcallister/captain-brian/
