Info on the Presque Isle: https://greatlakesships.wordpress.com BOW SECTIONS Year Built: 1972 Builder: DeFoe Shipbuilding Company, Bay City, Michigan CARGO SECTION Year Built: 1973 Builder: Erie Marine, Erie, Pennsylvania [Litton Industries The Presque Isle was constructed as a self-unloading integrated tug/barge unit for Litton Great Lakes Corporation. The tug/barge unit was intended to operate as part of Litton’s Wilson Transit Company, but Litton sold Wilson before the barge was completed. The tugboat was constructed by Halter Marine of New Orleans, Louisiana. The barge was constructed by two different shipyards on the Great Lakes. The bow portion of Presque Isle was built by DeFoe Shipbuilding in Bay City, Michigan, being towed to Erie, Pennsylvania by the tugs Laurence C. Turner and Maryland in October 1972. The cargo section and notch were being built by Litton Industries’ Erie Marine Shipyard where the 1,000-Footer Stewart J. Cort was built the year before. The bow section was welded to the cargo section in early 1973. The tug/barge Presque Isle was designed as an Integrated tug/barge unit, with the tug fitting into a specially-designed notch where it would rigidly lock in, and the pair would sail as one vessel. It was designed with intentions to take advantage of the U.S. Coast Guard’s tug/barge manning requirements, but since the tug was not deemed seaworthy on its own, it had to operate with an full-size crew. The pair was built at a cost of about $35 Million under Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1970. Together, the tug/barge Presque Isle became the Great Lakes’ second 1,000-Footer. The First Footer was the Stewart J Cort. Her self-unloading equipment consists of a dual hold belt system leading to twin aft-located rotary elevators that feed a 250′ deck-mounted boom.
