There is a post on Lake Superior Ports & Shipping with a For Sale notice on the Lake Superior. Looks like the asking price is 55,000$.

Here is a short video of the slip where the tug is moored, as well as a crane barge sunk just ahead of it. There is also another tug sunk there with only a bit of its pilot house showing.

Sorry, should have mentioned that the tug I am asking about was in Duluth, You can see it in the Harbor cam on the right bottom side of the video cam..
Think it's the Lake Superior.

The Corps of Eng. tug. tied up across the slip from the salt dock. Is it active and still operated by the US Army? It must be one of the largest Corps tug on the Lakes!
