Salutation was at Pier 1 in NY Harbor in 1951 for an
"Open House" display of the new
tug with a Hydraulic Pilot House (note
that there are no hemp-bumpers installed yet)
(the 12,000 HP is a typo -- should be 1200 HP)

It's very interesting that a patent was issued for
a hydraulic elevating pilothouse
in 1976 some 25 years after Salutation's debut in
NY Harbor in 1951
