Nice footage, though I wish we had a better look at things like the bridge, engine, and machine shop. Anyway, thanks for your work, this was a rare opportunity.

Galley..when you're on a boat it's a galley, not a kitchen. The room with the shelving is where they'd store spare parts of every size & shape. I see dirty areas that with removal of the trash, proper cleaning & disinfecting she'd be in nice shape. It's the hull under water you want to know more about. Engine room is a neglected, nasty mess and I want to go in there and just power wash all of it, lol, but that's not the way you clean that area. Nice vid.

Great video, very interesting. The ship died from what many old ships die from! Probably machine damage. You could briefly see that the cylinder heads had been removed. I'm glad that my father's professional ship has gone into a museum (from 1936)! Thank you! Greetings Klaus from Düsseldorf

Triste fin pour ce vénérable remorqueur et quel dommage qu'il n'ait pas pu être restauré car ce bateau est chargé d'histoire à raconter ...( un ship lover from France )

Very cool. Calumet River Fleeting also owns(and is looking to sell) this boat's sibling, the Mary E. Hannah. The boat is currently out of use, but very much functional and in great shape for her age. She is pretty similar looking inside, but not all dusty. I think she had the fortune of being repowered with a pair of 'modern' (perhaps i should say serviceable in 2024) EMD 567 powerplant when she got to the Lakes in the 70s. Something many of her siblings did not. Another one of her siblings is famously rotting away in the old boat graveyard in Staten Island New York. She is the biggest and most intact thing there, and is in much worse shape than the Kristin.

Not many tugs like this survive today. They are afterall WWII era tugs. There was one that was used as a radio station, until it got scrapped, and one in New York's Arthur Kill Scrapyard-

What was her crew complement? >/< 10? What is the main propultion unit? a Gardner Diesel? How many? Single or double screw? How many gen sets? Any idea how many KV minimum and total? Are any of the electronics (radar/sodar) still aboard? What about the short/longwave radio, and if applicable, the auto antenna trimmer? Was (or is) she equipped with a reverse osmosis water maker? Any idea how many gallon per day it made? Also be interesting to know the tankages: fuel capacity and freshwater, graywater, and blackwater capacities. What is her length and draft? She MIGHT be a candidate for conversion to a private yacht. Over-all Condition does not look too bad. I saw a 105 foot converted Army tug in California Yacht Finder, back in 1997~1999. It had a single Gardner V-12 diesel, 24,000 galon fuel capacity. It could make 3 trans world voyages on one fill-up, according to a now late Navy Sea Bee I knew at the time. 64KW electric (2x 31 KW gen sets plus a couple smaller usits) The seller only wanted 1.5 million for it. (fuel tamks were full, fuel treated so it would not go bad.)
