Anecdotes
Alison Nicole Lowes stated (Email to Nauticapedia 12/11/2022) "My name is Alison and the Alison Nicole tug boat was named after me. My father, Wayne Lowes owned Wayden Transportation. He passed away last year, and it just made me so happy to be able to find information and to see my boat again. So I wanted to thank you,from the bottom of my heart. It means more to me than you could ever know to be able to access this information. Attached is a painting my grandfather did when my dad first bought the boat and it was still the North Arm Champion."
