''G.W. Rogers'' was a tugboat active on the Great Lakes. She was built in 1919, at Great Yarmouth, in the United Kingdom.〔 〕 Her previous names included: ''Ballen Balloch'', ''West Hope'' and ''Ocean Gull''. She helped free the lake freighter ''George M. Carl'', when she ran aground off the mouth of the Humber River, in 1975.〔 (mirror ) 〕 The ''G.W. Rogers'' sank at her moorings at Rensselaer, New York in December 1987.〔 〕 A port official told the ''Schenectady Gazette'' that the vessel was so rusty her name was "nearly illegible". The ''Schenectady Gazette'' reported that a floating crane would have to be brought from New York City to salvage the tug, as the combined weight of the vessel and a land-based crane would overwhelm the moorings. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「G.W.
