Edna G. Tugboat:


The Edna G. was the last coal-fed, steam-powered tugboat in operation on the Great Lakes. Built in 1896, the tugboat served Two Harbors, with the exception of being pressed into government service for two years during World War I. In 1974 she was designated a National Historic Site. She was fully restored in 1994.
