Sainte-Monique, Qu�bec 2014: The tug boat is now on permanent display on Route du Quai, in the vicinity of Sainte-Monique. It has a pulley in the front allowing it to pull logs floating on the nearby rivers and lakes. These logs were destined to pulp and paper mills. As the practice of floating logs ceased quite a few years ago, the tug was no longer required and ended up being displayed as a tourist attraction and, more importantly, to remind people of the key role it played in support of the local economy.
