Photo by Abbass Studio, Sydney, N.S., courtesy of Skip Gillham HARD AGROUND on Dec. 4, two days after their mishap are 1) LUBROLAKE with for- ward cabins missing, 2) the un-named barge that was the other half of the tow and 3) the tug IRVING BEACH. Standing by off the beach near New Waterford, N.S., is presumably 4) the tug IRVING BIRCH. Reports are conflicting, but it appears that LUBROLAKE is now owned by Atlantic Towing, Ltd., and that when she got into trouble she was being towed to St. John, N. B., to hold storage fuel for the fishing fleet. e& Sixty Years Ago CZ LAKE LAUNCHES FOR FEBRUARY...as reported by THE MARINE REVIEW of 1908 » prepared by Dave Glick --Feb.5 at Great Lakes Engineering Works, St.Clair, HULL 39, bulk freighter NORMANIA (b.
