Remarks
After extensive investigation, the boat’s name was returned to its original name. Eager Miss was built specifically to the specifications of William (“Big Bill”) Tutton.
Tutton owned the Eager House Restaurant on Eager Street in downtown Baltimore in the late 1950s and early ‘60s. The Eager House was typical of the “dinner houses” of the 50’s and 60’s in the Maryland urban areas.
