All photos today come from Isaac Pennock, currently a cadet at GLMA, and principal behind the tugboathunter blog. Click here to see many of Isaac’s photos taken on and around the Great Lakes aka North Coast.
Anchor Bay (1953) started its life as a USACE tug, not unlike W & D’s Little Toot, Spooky and Pilot, now Millie B. Other GLMA vessels include
Northwestern, 56′ loa aluminum vessel,
a 41′ utility boat, and their big
vessel, T/S State of Michigan, the former USNS Persistent, T-AGOS-6.
Tenders called in the port of Traverse City recently, with intrepid explorers—well, tourists–from
a German cruise ship called Hamburg .
Shorefolk ventured out in kayaks, perhaps to trade with folks aboard the ship?
Another recent visitor in the port was Canim, dating from 1930.
Again, for these photos I’m grateful to Isaac, a GLMA cadet.
