In Two Harbors, the Edna G. Tugboat is not just a historic vessel. She is a landmark, a symbol, and for the people who live near Agate Bay, she is a familiar and beloved part of the daily view. Built in 1896 and named after the daughter of a prominent iron ore company executive, the Edna G. served the Two Harbors harbor for decades, guiding massive ore boats through Agate Bay and standing as a living connection to the iron ore shipping era that shaped this entire region. Today she sits in permanent berth as one of the last steam-powered tugboats in the United States and a proud centerpiece of Two Harbors’ waterfront identity.
