Built in 1896, the ''[[Edna G]]''. was named after the president of the railroad's daughter, Edna Greatsinger, this tug is "one of a kind". The ''Edna G.'' stayed in Two Harbors its entire working career except for a small stint during World War I it spent two years on the east coast moving warships around.
