Margaret McCann (tug, 1913)

Summary

The tug Margaret McCann found the storm-bound Lucie A. party near Fox Island in December 1913 and returned to St. James so Capt. McCann could report the situation and arrange the rescue.

Evidence and limits

The report gives the vessel name and class but no registry, dimensions, owner, crew list, or later service. The title preserves Margaret McCann while the article’s later shorthand “McCann” is retained as an alternate name.

Open questions

• Can maritime or local records identify the tug and Captain McCann fully?
• What other fishing and rescue work did the tug perform?
