CORNWALL – The Transportation Safety Board is sending a team to Cornwall to look into the sinking of a couple tugboats along the city’s waterfront.
The Lac Manitoba capsized Monday afternoon and then another tug was sunk about five hours.
They were trying to position a barge with a crane to begin work on another section of the north channel bridge.
TSB Canada tweeted Tuesday morning it was deploying a team to assess the two occurrences.
