Tug Genevieve
Goes Up For Sale
In today’s paper there is a no
tice of sale for the M/V Gene
vieve by the Lomen Commercial
Co. This tug played an important
part in Nome’s history and was
for many years the staunchest tug
on the Nome coastwise service. It
has weathered many storms out
on Norton Sound and sought
shelter behind Sledge Island with
barges in tow. As far as is known
it was built for the Sessnon Co.
and named for the daughter of
the manager, Genevieve Kellogg,
and acquired by the Lomen Co.
when they bought out the tug and
barge service, many years ago.
Thousands of people who came
ashore by barge and tug will re
member the Genevieve when pas
senger boats were the only mode
of transportation.
Now, like the old Donaldson,
which was the mail boat for many
years, now on its side in the
Snake River Harbor, it has finish
ed its work.
