In 1990, I visited the Port of Indiana (Portage-Burns Harbor) frequently. During that year, I saw 2 Gaelic Tugs - the Gaelic Challenger and one which may be the Kinsale laid-up there. The story was that Jack Grey, who was big in trucking, and had formed the succcessful Stevedoring Company "Lakes & Rivers", had bought the tugs - planning to go into the tug/barge business. He then decided not to go into that business, so there the 2 tugs sat. What became of them? I have since seen nothing resembling the Gaelic Challenger so i was wondering.
