Shortly after arriving at Port Colborne with D.D.S. SALVAGER, the tug TUSKER was involved in an accident. The Clarence Street bridge failed to rise for the downbound A. S. GLOSSBRENNER and the freighter, attempting to stop, lost steerageway and swung over, striking TUSKER and damaging her Kort steering nozzle. TUSKER was towed by BAGOTVILLE to the Canadian Dredge and Dock drydock at Kingston for the necessary repairs, arriving there on September 26.
