Actually, the tugboat hasn't been there all that long. I reckon around 20 years, maybe less. The restaurant used to be the Bourne Mill years ago, then when Grandma's went up, they brought in the tugboat as a novelty ice cream stand. You used to get served in what was the galley, and you could walk thru the pilot house and then stand in the bow.

Penner's won't be re-opening anytime soon--if and when the insurance pays off, the owner has a, shall we say, more pressing need for the settlement than re-opening a restaurant he unsuccessfully tried to peddle before that very unfortunate incident involving a match, some acellerant, and a disabled hydrant in front of the building.

mike is right, it has only been there about 20 years. the ice cream was so good. bubble gum ice cream was always my favorite.

i used to love seeing santa clause standing on the bow waving to all the cars driving throught town.

being a town resident, it will definetly leave a void for me. that tug was pretty cool. thanks howie for bringing it. sorry the guy you sold the restaurant to couldn't keep it. instead he had to go in the tank and sell to cvs.

Well it's not gone yet, I just drove by it 10 minute's ago.
I guess once permits are in place it will be demolished.
