Three of the Great Lakes Towing Tugs

 As I was waiting at the Jefferson Avenue Bridge, the Great Lakes Towing tugboats for the area are kept here.  I decided to get some pictures of them.  I think I read somewhere that these tugs were not long for this world.  Looking at them, I could understand that.

First up was the Nebraska.  She was built in 1929.  It's amazing how much of these is under water.
Next up was the Wyoming.  She also was built in 1929.

Next up is the Ontario.  She was built in 1964 as the YTB 770 for the U.S. Navy.  In 2001, she became the Jeffrey McAllister.  In 2015, she was acquired by Great Lakes Towing and given her current name.
