The Atlantic Beaver is the newest boat down at the pier as it is about a year old. Note the orange paint on the top of the boat to increase its visibility.
The Crew of the Atlantic Beaver
Allan has been the engineer of the Atlantic Spruce for two year, a Saint John-based tug boat. Crew members often live on board for months at a time depending where the tug boat is working.
In the quiet months the crew paints and does maintenance on the boats. The Atlantic Beech celebrated its 40th birthday this year and is still considered to be a viable work horse.
