Help arrived on Lake Erie just before Christmas and the long cold winter. The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Penobscot Bay tied up at the Coast Guard's Cleveland moorings right on schedule, where it is temporarily assigned to the Great Lakes region. The cutter is a 140 foot long ice-breaking tug boat, and will join another Coast Guard cutter, the Neah Bay, in keeping the shipping lanes open when ice begins forming. The tug traveled nearly two thousand miles to get to Cleveland, from its home port of Bayonne, New Jersey, down the Saint Lawrence River, through Lakes Ontario and Erie, and on into Cleveland.
