TUG KEN BOOTHE SR. TO BE MOVED WEDNESDAY

The new, elevated pilothouse was placed on the tug KEN BOOTHE SR. today in the graving dock at Donjon Shipbuilding and Repair, and the tug is scheduled to be floated from the drydock and into the West Slip tomorrow morning. Sources report that part of the shipyard's crew will report for work at 0300 and begin work; the yard would like to have the tug ready to be moved by 1000 or 1100 in case of ice near the drydock gate.

At that time, the completed modules of the new barge under construction will be moved into the drydock, and the drydock door will remain open all winter.
