"Dearborn" was a modern twin-diesel electric tug specified personally by Henry Ford for ship handling use at Ford's Rouge Plant. She otherwise followed the form of traditional steam powered tugs on the Great Lakes.
Model is 42 inches long in 1:24 scale, and was built from original Great Lakes Engineering Works drawings from the archives at Bowling Green State University.
The model was featured in the Nov/Dec 2008 issue of "Ships in Scale" magazine.
