Frank Becker

[Guest]

I ran across this article while 'surfing' the net.

Rod Morrison notes "This is a picture of Captains Mantell, Becker & Morrison (my dad Capt. Angus J. Morrison) taken in the wheelhouse of the Atomic in 1956, I think. They were towing the Greater Detroit and Eastern States out into Lake St Clair to burn. My dad is the one not in uniform. Frank Becker owned Becker Towing in Detroit and Capt. Mantel had been the Captain of the Greater Detroit. "

Didn't Frank Becker own a towing company here in Detroit ? I seem to remember seeing his personal tug ( used for pleasure ) at the Drummond Island Yatch Harbor in the very late 50's or early 60's. I seem to remember the tug having a fireplace inside. Does anyone have a picture ?
