Here is the Harry M Lee on the beach in Quincy MA. I belive the guy in the photo is Bob or Gene Dixon( and they must have taken the photo) who owned the tug . they also at one time or another, owned the old Portsmouth (which we almost bought), Pegasus, Sanita( an ex SANITAtion tug) and probably some others.
