Daniel McAllister Rusts Away

While in Montreal recently I stumbled upon this sad state. The Daniel McAllister is the oldest and largest historic tugboat in Canada and the second oldest ocean-going tugboat to be preserved in the world. Yet, this artifact is currently rusting in the Old Port of Montreal. I would appreciate any comments on what the planned status is or what should be for this national treasure.
