Summary

The LaFond was a fishing tug owned and skippered by Beaver Island commercial fisherman Michael Cull, according to his September 1964 obituary.

Evidence and limits

The obituary supplies no registry, construction date, dimensions, home port, crew list, or service history. This article preserves the tug and its owner without expanding the source’s limited identification.

Open questions

  • Can a vessel registry or local newspaper identify the tug’s construction and later history?
  • Is “LaFond” the complete registered spelling of the vessel’s name?
