Tug Boat

This picture is of a tug boat that sank at English Harbor on Fanning Island. It is close to the docks used by the tenders from the ship.

This is the story I was told about the tug boat. This tug boat was at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked in 1941. It survived that attack. During World War 2, the US Navy established a base of operations at Fanning Island and sent the tug here. While it was here, it caught on fire and sank. It has remained where it is since World War 2.
