Coast Guard Cutter MORRO BAY (WTGB-106)departed at 1430 this afternoon. The MORRO BAY, one of nine "Bay Class" 140-foot icebreaking tugs owned by the U.S. Coast Guard, was recently reassigned to Cleveland from her former homeport on the east coast. Every season a sixth tug would be assigned to the Great Lakes for icebreaking so the MORRO BAY was transferred to Cleveland permanently this spring.
HERBERT P. BRAKE was out in Erie harbor today for trials and will be departing Friday morning with Sterling Equipment's new hopper barge RHETT.
Arriving in Erie last Sunday and docking at Rum Runners was the newly-built Scallywags. The vessel is going to be placed into service with a smaller consort to go out into Presque Isle Bay and shoot water at each other.
