The Peninsula, which was originally launched as the Norton for the Canadian Navy in 1943, was acquired by Marathon Pulp in 1946. The tug towed log booms between the town's mill and the Pic River for nearly two decades.
The vessel was later used as a tugboat in Thunder Bay where she was a very visable part of the harbour
The volunteers ran out of commitment to restore and set it up as a Museum. She was pulled up on the Shore and scrapped.
