Today was another busy day at the Duluth Canal with a number of freighters arriving and leaving port as well as pleasure boats enjoying a nice fall sunny day. But this little tugboat can only look at the water and watch the leaving freighter as the Bayfield tug was retired from active service in 1995 and is now on display at Canal Park. She was built in 1953 and the tug measures 45 feet in length and 13 feet in width. The Bayfield was used by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to move unpowered barges, crane barges, and work scows in the Duluth-Superior harbor.
