  • The tug, built in 1923, was abandoned at the Amnicon River mouth and sunk in 1951 to stabilize a sandbar.
  • Clear water let Damon and her 9-year-old son see beams, cables and a large pipe on the lakebed.
  • The find sparked community discussion, with some recalling 1967 sightings and others noting renewed local interest.
