Vessel available

[Christine Manninen <manninen@glc.org>]

Does your organization need a vessel for Great Lakes education purposes?

A 40-foot turn-of-the-century solid steel harbor tug boat, presently 
dry-docked in Racine, Wisconsin, is available for donation to any 
charitable organization with a Great Lakes education mandate. The 
DOROTHEA M. GEARY is a vessel with a proud past. The world's first 
electrically welded vessel, she was launched in July 1915 from Ashtabula 
Ohio and, over the years, has served as a repair vessel for freighters, 
a repair launch and an Eagle Scout training vessel. She has been owned 
for the last decade by Ned Dikmen, publisher of Great Lakes Boating 
magazine. Significant investment in recent years has included a new 
superstructure, a 671 Detroit Diesel, and a bow thruster, among others. 
Some further fabrication work is needed. Interested organizations and 
individuals should contact Ned Dikmen in Chicago at 312-266-8400 or 
ndikmen@greatlakesboating.com
