Tug Restless:
Tug, "Restless" was built in 1938 by Palmer Johnson, as a Prototype for a Army Corp of Engineers fleet contract. After failing to secure the Bid, vessel was later "Pleasurized," with the addition of a Aft Cabin over the former flush deck. Powered by a John Deere Lugar Diesel turning a 5 bladed 36" Prop. Vessel is all Wood Construction. Relaunched in June 2005 after a 2.5 year refit after being abandon for 7 years being left in a field. Yacht interior installed at that time. Many fixtures and hardware are from former old Great Lakes Freighters. (such as all glass, which are Beveled Panes from a old Wheelhouse) Roland Schultz. I was introduced to Roland at the Great Tug Races Sault Ste Marie Ont, he has done a great job on this tug, you can see Roland & Tug Restless at tugfest 2006 in Parry Sound Aug 25th 26th. We are looking forward to the visit.
