Historical Layups: PRESQUE ISLE

Another frequent winter visitor to Erie, from the time of its build until the mid-1980s, and now, once again a regular winter visitor, was the 1000-foot tug/barge PRESQUE ISLE. In these photos from the mid-1980s, the tug returned to Erie from its five year survey at Port Weller Dry Docks.

The sand dredge EMMETT J. CAREY is at the Erie Builder's Supply Dock across the slip from the PRESQUE ISLE.
