John G Munson on the Move

So how do you move a boat that is more then 760 feet long that weights over 17,000 tons?

Very carefully - using two big tugs!

The John G Munson was towed from the Port Terminal to Fraser Shipyard today in order to undergo routine inspections and upgrades.

Two Heritage Marine tugs, the Helen H and Nels J,  pulled the Munson for 1.5 miles though the icy waters of St. Louis Bay using mariner skills that made the job look easy.
