The Presque Isle Tug/Barge Vessel Arrives In Erie


As I was recently fishing the South Pier with my son, we had an amazing view of a very large vessel. The Presque Isle Tug went through the channel. This was a push tug, part of a tug/barge combo. Used to carry dry cargo. Has been chartered to the Great Lakes Fleet. Built in 1972, and has a total power output 14.840 bhp and rated service speed of 14 knots. Pretty cool to watch. Great to have these amazing vessels in Erie!
