J'ai fait une erreur,j'aurais du écrire: FELICIA ou RIVAL,ex vapeurs convertis au diesel(Burmeister and Wain,hélices à pas variable), quand je tentais d'identifier le remorqueur de St Jos. Et, Lanaud, vous avez raison, MATHILDA a été donné à un musée aux USA.
Bonsoir à tous,
Daniel.

Je viens de lire que le Rival aurait été vendu aux Grecs en 1978..

Bel enquête. On va finir par le savoir. Je vais écrire au musée pour le savoir...

Both RIVAL and FELICIA were taken out of service in the early 1990s. RIVAL was broken up on the dock at section 25 in Montréal while FELICIA was towed to St. Joseph de la Rive where she apparently became an eyesore to the local population. Luckily, she was refurbished and is now a museum vessel at this location. She's is certainly in much better condition than DANIEL MCALLISTER in Montréal where the historic tug is left to rot while sitting on a cradle in the old Lachine Canal.
As far as MATHILDA is concerned, she is now at Kingston NY as part of their maritime museum.
Since I'm not at home presently, I don't have access to my personal files but my memory is quite clear on these ones except for exact dates.

I cannot give you a name but it appears to be a former McAllister Towing and Transportation Co. tug given the stack and tug colors. That is a large U.S. firm on the East Coast whose operation closest to Canada would be Portland, Maine. They have an excellent web site.

Right. and thsy also had a few tugs based in Montreal until the late 70's I think. An uncle of mine was an engineer for them for many years in Montreal.

Ce remorqueur est soit le Felicia,soit le Mathilda, autrefois employé par McAllister, à Montreal. Il a été donné au musée de Saint Jos. et il est maintenant accessible aux visiteurs.Toutefois, cet été, il ne semblait pas être aussi enterré dans le sable! Est-ce que votre photo date de quelques années?

Salut Rimouski. Saluerez mes parents à Bic.

J'ai fait une recherche sur Bowling Green University et ils disent ceci: 'Transferred to South Street Seaport Museum through J.P. McAllister, New York.' Ceci était en 1970. Possiblement le Felicia alors

Tried their site and not certain, but I'm guessing it could be the FELICIA?
