The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating after someone reported on Monday morning that an old tugboat was partially submerged. Investigators from Marine Safety Unit Duluth went out and determined there was no pollution or impact to the environment.

They'll now work with the tug's owner to determine a plan forward. Jayson Hron with the Duluth Seaway Port Authority told Bring Me The News the vessel is formerly a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tugboat, but it's now privately owned.
