Does anyone have photos of fishtug Lori B before she was converted to 'spud' boat Silt-Master - There is one in the fishtug photo section at Port Dover and I have one I took at almost the identical berth - Any other photos much appreciated - Thanks

and Carol Ann II had just come in - One of her crew told me their catch was pretty good-

Thanks for the info -
Is it worth a trip to Wheatly or Kingsville this time of year for fishtug action?
I'm in London-

The red hulled boat is the Howard W Fitzpatrick an exBoston area fire boat - Apparently she is based in Southampton - I caught her today at Purdy's dock - Anybody know why she is there - Looks to be in fine shape-

Guest -
Thanks for the reply - That is what I thought also but with so many authorities on various subjects that post here I thought I would do a bit of 'fishing' -
Monty

Is there any where else I could check for info about her?

Can anyone supply any info about this tug - Is she a working unit or just for pleasure? Taken in Midland Ontario this summer-
Thanks

MacDonald tugs in Goderich has that motto handpainted on a number of their tugs- Here are pix of Donald Bert and Dover showing it on their smokestacks-

Perfect - Clears that up - Thanks again-
Monty

Thanks for the info about cost/prices/values- Very helpful- However I have more questions - Looking at the Transport Canada vessel registry it shows under 'unit of power' as Killowats for William TR and for the random other fishtugs I checked it shows as brake horsepower - Can some body help with th...

I was talking to some guys at Port Stanley today - They told me fishtug William TR is diesel electric - Is this correct and are any other fishtugs powered the same way? They also told me she is worth $250000.00 which seems to be on the high side - What is the going rate for a new build fishtug? I se...

Does anybody have any info on this boat?
The register shows her as suspended - She looks to be
in good shape - With her lines it looks like she may have
been a fishtug at one time- Any help appreciated - Thanks
Monty

Here are two of Menasha at Sarnia Ont on 24Jan2014 while I was aiming at fishtugs - I have a couple of shots taken in Jul2013 and it appears that she was moored in the same place -Physically she looked fine but I was told that she had blown her engine-

Slightly off topic but sort of in the same area something I have always wondered about-
Why are 'cheatlines' called what they are?
Thanks
Monty

The tug barge might be Everlast/Norman McLeod
Monty

Thanks-
Will give it a go-
