A Wisconsin angler with a family legacy of shipwreck discoveries has discovered one of the largest tugboats to ever tow on the Great Lakes, scrapped more than a century ago off the shores of Manitowoc. Christopher Thuss was out fishing in the evening on May 13 when he noticed a wreckage north of the Manitowoc breakwater in Maritime Bay just nine feet below the water's surface.
