KATHY LYNN, Barge Remain; PILGRIM Scrapping Begins; LADY KATE Under New Ownership

KATHY LYNN and CT 150 remain in port today. The crane was loaded onto the barge today and the duo is moored alongside, parallel to the dock. No word yet on when they will be departing.

As I first reported late last year, the fishing tug PILGRIM, which suffered a sinking in early 2007, is currently being scrapped on Port Authority property just east of Perry's Landing Marina.

LADY KATE, which I reported to be for sale last year, is now owned by Tim Sedney, owner of Rum Runners and one of the principals in the VICTORIAN PRINCESS dinner cruiser that operates on Erie's waterfront. With former owner Tom Macaluso's retirement, the VHF waves around Erie harbor will never be the same.
