She was supposed to be in "Road to Perdition", somewhere near the begining where the kid is riding his bike. I work with some ex-GMT guys and they told me a bunch about what went on during the tow over to ISPAT-Inland plant No.3, the repainting, and whatnot. The Peggy is in the Hannah/GMT boneyard, just south of Rogers Terminal in the Calumet River. She's been pretty much been used only as a toolshed and for spare parts for the longest time. Seems like she was a pretty nice tug at one time, lots of HP(Fairbanks-Morse plant) and agility for a single screw tug, so I've been told. One nice thing about her is you could access the entire boat without going outside in the weather. Hope that helps! -bUCK
