            The Salvage operation to raise the "James Whalen " included the Barge "Coastal Titan " , the Tug "Salvage Monarch " and auxiliary craft from Thunder Bay Tug Services and a CCG Rhib. The cost was close to $800,000 and will be stored on the N M Patterson & Son's Dock on the Kam River beside the Swing Bridge for 2 years pending a decision by the city as to her future.

She lies on the borrom of the Kaministiquia River after the City of Thunder Bay's Parks Dept shut off the power to the Billge pumps and heat in the fall of 2021 after a near sinking earlier in that year when they were installed because of breaches in the hull. No repairs were done in the interum. She sank in the spring thaw of 2022.

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. But she cut through much thicker ice by running at the Ice and getting a quarter of her hull on top of the Ice and crushing it with her weight. 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.
