The 110' Canadian Pacific Railway Tug (1930) - MV PRESCOTONT

HISTORY: The MV Prescotont was commissioned for the Canadian Pacific Railway and began her career on September 10, 1930, along with her sister vessel, the railroad barge Ogdensburg. MV Prescotont was the first diesel electric vessel built in Canada and took 90 days to build. Between 1930 and 1970, she ferried barges loaded with railroad cars between Prescott, Ontario and Ogdensburg, New York. In 1970 she was moved to work for the Windsor/Detroit Barge Lines until 1989 when a fire retired her from service. MV Prescotont was headed to the scrap yard when she was purchased in 1994. All the internal systems have been retrofitted including engine, hydraulics, electrical, plumbing, & communications systems. The salons and staterooms have been all updated and ready to enjoy.
