Photo on P.6 JAMIE BAXTER... Another of the Peterson Builders' products like the AURORA, this tug has been completed and delivered to her new owners to be jéined to a barge facility being built on the Gulf Coast similar to the PRESQUE ISLE barge-tug combination now sailing on the Lakes. The tug part of this combo was built this year at Sturgeon Bay and sailed for her destination, the Gulf, early this summer. She will be joined to a large barge to be built and will serve the Gulf coast industries as a bulk carrier. Photo on P.6 ALASTAIR GUTHRIE... Named after a prominent Duluth vessel broker, the old BEN MOREELL of the Kinsman Marine Transit Company, was renamed officially at ceremonies at Duluth on July 14th. She has sailed the lakes as the MOREELL for many years and came out as the JAMES MACNAUGHTON for the Wilson Transit Company in 1922, Photo below TEXACO BRAVE...The newest of the Canadian tankers on the Lakes is the TEXACO BRAVE which was built in Japan this year. She joins her sister ships, the TEXACO CHIEF and TEXACO WARRIOR. Each vessel was named for a former Lake tanker in the same fleet a few years ago. Photo on P. EXACO WARRIOR ... This tank vessel was built in 1970 at Wallsend-on-Tyne, England and came to the Lakes last year. This is the first time we have been able to photograph her so we include this addition to the Fexaco Fleet in this issue. As her sisters, we welcome the TEXACO WARRIOR to our Lakes' scene and hope many years of service are ahead of her, Photo on P,3 q bk —— joTAIR GUTHRIE wast ALASTAIR GUTHRIE US 222555, 1922 by the Great Lakes Engineering Works of River Rouge, Mich...580 x 60 x 32...8,299 gt...a( James MacNaughton, b) Ben Moreell ii. 2 Ed.
