"Denver"

It has been called the last wooden tugboat in Louisiana. The National Trust for Historic Preservation made it a Save America's Treasures project, and the parish council set aside $45,000 around 1999, much of it going to early restoration and dry-dock fees. By July 2002 about 95 percent of the hull work was done and a crane lifted the boat onto a flatbed for the drive from Larose to Ormond. Ormond was chosen for its maritime and German history.
