Great Lakes Towing’s Tug Mississippi is towing the Oakglen (unseen here) through the MLK bridge on October 31, 2020. During the fall of 2020, the Mississippi was a new sight in Toledo as it had been stationed in Traverse Bay during the summer and fall months as a training ship for the Great Lakes Maritime Academy.
The Mississippi was built in Cleveland by Great Lakes Towing Company in 1916. G-Tug offers towing services in over 40 ports around the Great Lakes, so their vessels often move around to different ports as needed.
