The 19 ton fishing tug Richard H. was 43.8 feet in length with a beam of 12 feet. She was a steam powered vessel built at Marinette, WI in 1923. The fish tug was owned by William Prue of Green Bay, WI in 1938. Captain McKay, who purchased the Richard H. in 1939, said he had recently remodeled the upper structure of the boat. The superstructure had been cut down ten inches in the remodeling.
At the time of her loss, the Richard H. was owned by Captain John McKay, who originally hailed from Alpena, but had moved to South Haven with his family in the Spring of 1936.
