Defiance (tug) with barge Ashtabula

Tug Defiance is 48 feet long and flies the U.S. flag

Info
The tug Defiance and barge Ashtabula departed Duluth on June 13, 2014, with a cargo of iron nuggets loaded at the Hallett #5 dock in West Duluth. Both were built in 1982 although they have had other names during that time. They are both owned by a Canadian Company, Lower Lakes Towing, and operated by the U.S. company Lower Lakes Transportation. The vessel therefore sails under a U.S. flag.
