lol yeah i enjoy it also, so hard to keep it a secret!

Thanks for taking away the mistry Zac, I was enjoying the banter. The tug was the Tolsma Bay, Previously the Albany Bay, Previously the Willard L. We are working on getting it converted below deck with living accommodations for livaboard tours. I currently run a dive charter on the North Shore and we would potentially use this boat as an accommodations vessel while we dive off of the "Superior Wreckreation".

The owner of this tug is Jay Hanson of Superior Scuba Center, Duluth MN. It is being restored to use as a dive boat and just to keep her in the water, it is her 100th this year.

Any other pictures of her? Her pilot house looks exactly like that of the ex Beaver Island ferry "Mary Margaret" (ex "Chippewa") that ran in the Apostle Islands for a few years. The resemblance is uncanny.

Actually, she is now named *Albany Bay." She has been at Washburn since around 2005 with the intention being to convert her to a dive boat.

Roger,

The mystery tug in Washburn looks to be the Tolsma Bay
