The first time we saw the Pathfinder/Dorothy Ann was in Lake Huron at Machinaw City and my daughter and I remarked that it looked like a floating lighthouse. It was just after it started sailing ('98/'99) and we'd never seen a barge/tug freighter before.
Thanks for sharing.
The new design tug-barge units sure don't look anything like the "Tuggy Tugboat" we read about as kids!
