Miss Stacy in trouble PORTSMOUTH, N.H.—New Hampshire Congressman Frank Guinta's first voyage aboard a tugboat has been a memorable one. Guinta was on the boat Tuesday learning about the types of ships and deliveries that come into Portsmouth when the boat heard about another tugboat taking on water in the Piscataqua River after getting stuck under the Memorial Bridge. The tugboat, the Eugenia Moran, helped pull the other boat away from the bridge and towed it to the Isles of Shoals Steamship Co. The two people aboard the tugboat in distress were working on the project to replace the bridge connecting Portsmouth to Kittery, Maine. Photo missstacy.jpg |
