Muscallonge ("Musky")

The wooden tug Muscallonge (128' x 24.5' x 12'), launched as the Vigilant at Port Huron, Michigan on April 23, 1896, received her name change when Canadian owners purchased the ship in 1913. On August 15, 1936 while towing a barge to Toronto, the Muscallonge caught fire near Brockville. Captain F. Ahern ran his doomed ship aground, where it broke in two as it slid into deep water. No lives were lost. It now sits in 90-100' of water with much to see: scotch boiler, engine, starboard side and numerous other ship parts.
