Al, DEWEYS was the Toledo bumboat. She was built in 1942 at Toledo. It ended its life sunk in the slip where Gradel is working out of now. I photographed her there in 1998, but shortly after, it was hauled out and dismantled, or so I'm told. She was originally named MACK and renamed in 1950. Her and the KESSLER II were the two later Toledo bumboats. US.241815 is Deweys and 250635 is Kessler II. -Franz
