            The "James Whalen" sunk in the Kaministiquia River after being neglected for years by City of Thunder Bay who owned it as a Tourist Attraction on May 1st 2022. It had started to sink the previous April 2021 but was saved with a Bilge pump that was then removed for fear of freezing in the winter with no other remedial action taken to keep the ship from sinking again..

The ice-breaking tug James Whalen was built in 1905. It was designed to be tough enough to tow heavy steamers, and to cut through ice up to 20 inches thick. The tugboat served Thunder Bay for fifty years, until, in 1965 it was sent to Hamilton, Ontario. In 1977, it was destined to be scrapped, but was rescued. In 1992, the tugboat was purchased by Tourism Thunder Bay and returned to this area. The James Whalen underwent several years of renovations and is now moored at the Kam River Heritage Park, located by the Thunder Bay Historical Museum in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
