Sewage boat naming contest - Dung Dinghy didn't win

A new sewage pumping boat was put in service in Salisbury, Massachusetts.

The pump-out travels from boat to boat to extract onboard septic systems. Not glamorous duty but certainly a utilitarian job.

Salisbury Harbor Commission decided to hold a naming contest for the new sewage pumper.

Many people entered the boat-naming contest with names like: Poop Sloop, Dung Dinghy, Pumpty Dumpty and Poo Pourrie.

The commission settled on Down Winder - an appropriate name as other boats will quickly learn to stay down wind of her.
