y Td Fleet of the GREAT LAKES TOWING COMPANY, continued from first page: (Editor's note: With very little source materiat available on the rly fleet of GLTC, considerable difficulty has been encountered in tracking all the tugs of the original fleet, since many of them were old and saw iittle service after 1899. We believe the following list is reasonably ac- curate and complete. Additional information which our members or readers can add will be deeply appreciated. ) Part I: Wooden tugs acquired at the time the company was organized in 1899.
