Barrio Logan Students Help Name Pacific Tug Vessel
There's a newly-named vessel servicing San Diego Bay and its Working Waterfront, thanks to fourth-grade students from two Barrio Logan-area elementary schools.
"Logan" was unveiled as the grand-prize winning name in the Pacific Tugboat Service "Name that Tug" contest, held at Cesar Chavez Park on Friday, May 17, 2013.
Seventy-one students from Logan and Perkins Elementary schools participated. Several students submitted "Logan" as the new tug name, as a sign of pride in their neighborhood.
