Tammy Lynn

26' long former winch boat. This small tug was built by Russel Brothers Limited, and is currently owned by Lambton Marine Limited of Port Lambton, ON as the Tammy Lynn. She is active in the towing, dredging, and construction trades on the St. Clair River. Type: Single Screw Tugboat Builder: Russel Bros. Ltd., Owen Sound, ON Engines: 1 Detroit 4-71.


George Lee comments (June 15, 2017): "Gerry Peats owns Lambton Marine and his son Curtis owns Peats Marine Construction (fax 519-627-7222). They work together on the St. Clair River based out of Port Lambton. The Tammy Lynn was originally powered by a 4 cylinder Buda diesel which was replaced with a 4-71 Detroit. She is amazingly powerful for her size. Routinely handles a 70 x 30 foot crane barge."
