MV Miseford

MV Miseford is a tugboat built in 1915 by M. Beatty & Sons Ltd. in Welland, Ontario.

[2] It measures 114 gross tons[2] and was originally powered by a triple-expansion steam engine with two coal-fired boilers (make, size, and info unknown).

This tug was originally built for Alvin J. Misener & Erwin G. Tedford (owned from 1915 to 1922); then it was in possession of the Minister of Game & Fisheries for the Province of Ontario (from 1922 to 1940).

Since then it has been sold a few times, until 2005, when it was purchased by Thunder Bay Tug Services.

On November 4, 1965, the Miseford was driven aground by strong winds in the St. Marys River.
