That is the top of a hatch that leads down to the foc'sle where storage and some crew bunks are located. That device is the way to open and secure the very heavy hatch in the open position.

I am familier with the tug but have a question. I can't remeber what the lever in front of the pilot house was for? In the most recent picture it is black. I remeber it as grey. It is right in front of the wheelhouse and looks to be on top of a box. I remeber she had a steerinf stick and not a wheel. Would this have to do with her steering
Thanks

There is a good shot of the mystery object at 2:04 in this video -

I took a look at the YouTube video - Have to wonder if there is anything left in the Pilot House, especially with the front windows missing.

That would be an interesting tug to use on the Lakes.

Former tug Green Bay, Iroquois, Alaska, Grouper is up for auction on ebay. Be a shame if another of this class was cut up for for scrap
