The Seneca is still afloat on the Canadian side north of Sugar Island. The Altman was sitting in Purvis’s yard below the locks for several years with the Sioux nowhere to be seen.

William Hoey was towed to the MCM dock and scrapped this spring. Perhaps you are thinking of her. I have no current info on the others

You might be thinking about the Seneca. I just saw a post saying Soiux was towed to the scrapyard in 2021

I haven’t been in the area this year but I was told that the Altman is gone and was cut up this spring but I don’t know where. The Sioux was cut up by Purvis (or possibly someone else?) back around 2015 or 2016.

I heard that the tugs Soiux and Anna Marie Altman were towed from the Purves Marine dock to the MCM scrapyard in Sault Ste Marie last month. Does anybody know if they have started scrapping them?
