G.F. Becker

The tug G.F. Becker sank in deep water in Lake Huron under mysterious circumstances on September 9, 1931. She is a perfectly preserved tug boat that was in service for less than three years prior to her sinking. Our dive to adventure finds her upright with an eagle as mascot, and the windows, steering wheel, binnacle and compass intact. Was she running liquor from Canada to the area known as "Whiskey Bay"? Share the excitement as we attempt to discover the reason(s) for her loss during prohibition's rum running time period.
