Final Mission

The 1945 built Old Mission wastes away as part of the Skyway Fleet along the Calumet River. This old tug was originally built for the US Army before being later transferred to the Corp of Engineers and was sold to private owners in 1963, and would spend the rest of her career in the Chicago region. She has since changed owners twice and was last operated sometime in the 2010s, now owned by Middle River Marine, it seems likely that she will rot away in the skyway fleet.
