THUNDER BAY -- It's taken over a year, but the Lakehead Transportation Museum Society is seeing its hard work come to fruition.

The Alexander Henry Icebreaker was towed to Pool 6 on Thursday.

President Charlie Brown said it now has work to do at the site to get it ready for being an attraction.

“It’s going to be slow right now,” Brown said. “We have some fencing to do, some electrical to do, some security to do…we will be working on it slowly over the winter for smaller projects.”

Brown added they are hoping for a grand opening near the end of May 2018.

The Society, the city of Thunder Bay and the Port Authority all signed off on a five-year lease agreement to allow the ship to move to its new home.
