At the bottom of your article you mention the Katmai Bay helping with Ice Breaking in the Great Lakes.[edit]

As a plankowner of the Mackinaw, and having sailed on other CG Icebreaking tugs on the Great Lakes, I would like to remind you that there are several other vessels on the Great Lakes that share the load.

CGC Neah Bay CGC Mobile Bay CGC Alder CGC Biscayne Bay CGC Bristol Bay CGC Hollyhock CGC Morro Bay CGC Buckthorn

Lets give love where love is due. These aging vessels (except in the case of the Mac and the 225s) are the work horses on the Great Lakes. Often over utilized and under appreciated. 67.66.140.15 (talk) 16:32, 3 April 2019 (UTC) Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). First hand knowledge having sailed on both the Mackinaw and the Neah Bay. Sailed along side the Alder, Biscayne Bay, Bristol Bay, the Bucky, Hollyhock, and the Kat.[reply]
