Use:
This tug boat was originally called the Invader
when it was built in 1939 with a steel hull and a
wooden superstructure. The first owner was Lew
Russell Sr., one of the founders of Tidewater Barge
Lines. In 1976, Tidewater Barge Lines renovated
the vessel, replacing the wood with steel and adding
new engines. WCT Marine in Astoria bought the tug
boat in 2019. It is now known as the Voyager.
