Job Description Tow Boat Operator
Period 1975 - 1978
Rex remembers June 1977 when a helicopter that serviced the lighthouse at MichaelmasIsland put out a distress call. It went down and the towboat “Suzie Wong” with Rex Miller at the helm went out to rescue the occupants. There were three survivors and the helicopter with pontoons attached was towed to the whaling station.
