The Tug Essayons - Portage Lake district residents will well recall this onetime Corps of Engineers tug as it worked long and efficiently on Portage Lake. But the "Essy" was eliminated from the government program a few years ago because of the introduction of the diesel tugs, Lake Superior and Marquette. A steamer, it now performs efficiently, its skipper states, for Zenith Dredge Co. of Duluth. It docked in Hancock, Friday to take aboard coal.
