New Tug In Our Group

We have a new tug in our group. Ed Griffith of Owen Sound has purchased the Geri Ann out of Minnesota.  At the moment she is called the Maggie, and her home port will be Owen Sound. She is powered by a Turbo Charged 4 cyl Perkins Diesel 78 bhp. Her length is 32ft, Beam 13.3, Draft 3.6ft Gross wt: 9 tons. She was built by Coastal Tug & Towing of South Bend, Indiana in 1986. Capt Ed is also the owner of the Tug Red Wing of Owen Sound.    Looking forward to seeing her at our next Tugfest event. Looking good Ed.
