The boiler from the John Evenson steam tug now lies on the bottom of Lake Michigan. The 54-foot steam tug sank on June 5, 1895, and was finally discovered by two Wisconsin maritime historians on ...
A "ram" bulbous bow curves upwards from the bottom, and has a "knuckle" if the top is higher than the juncture with the hull—the through-tunnels in the side are bow thrusters. [1] A bulbous bow is a streamlined flaring or protruding bulb at the bow (or front) of a ship just below the waterline.
