I'm looking for the fish tug Jerry W.. It was originally owned by my wife's relative Oscar Hermanson up in Houghton, Michigan back in the 1940-50's. I found a couple of references to the tug's name on this forum, related to the Napont family. We just wanted to know where its at now, and maybe have someone send us a couple of current photos, or even older photos if possible. Thanks.

Earl Maudrie owned it for years, when he passed Simon Kenwabakise or Clifford Napont had her after that, not sure where she is these days. Clifford # if it's current 2three1, eight3eight-8510.

Have you checked in Naubinway to see if the fish Tug is there? It was at one time.

I was up in Naubinway over Christmas vacation, asking at King's Fish Market, but it wasn't up there. However, upon more searching of this forum I found a discussion from back in 2005 that would indicate that someone's grandfather sold it to Brian Napont? Also, I just found an online US Coast Guard vessel registry that states the last owner was Brian Napont, and the registration had expired in 2003.

Actually I've included a web link to a photo of the Jerry W., when it was docked at Naubinway, although the photographer and date are unknown.

One more photo, of the Jerry W. when owned by my wife's relative Oscar Hermanson, up in Houghton, Michigan in the 1950's.
