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.

!957-58 is the correct winter. Sorry for my bad math.

An aerial photo of the Fraser shipyard in Superior, WI, winter of 1957-58. There are 11 ships of the U S Steel fleet and 3 of the Wilson Marine Transit fleet. two that I can identify from the Wilson fleet are the A E Nettleton in the foreground and the Thomas Wilson in the middle.

This morning while taking on a load of pellets at the CN dock in Duluth, the CSV disconnected from the Erie Trader and broke a path thru the harbor ice for their eventual heading out when loaded. Here is the track it cut, and a pix of it turning near the Aerial Bridge.

Evidently there was a problem with the bridge this morning, as the American Integrity made a couple of U-Turns before finally coming through this morning.

This afternoon the G-Tug Wisconsin with 3 barges in tow stopped just outside the Duluth entry, and the G-Tug Arkansas went out and got one of the barges, which it brought in to a slip where, I believe, the J F Brennan is or was based. Then the Wisconsin brought the other two barges in to the same sl...
