An iconic tugboat that was a fixture in Halifax Harbour for 21 years has partially sunk in Ontario.

Theodore Too, based on the popular children’s TV show “Theodore Tugboat,” moved three years ago, travelling more than 1,900 kilometres and stopping at 15 ports before reaching its final destination in Hamilton, Ont.

A statement from Theodore’s new owner, Blair McKeil, reads, “Unfortunately, Theodore Too took on water while tied up at the dock at Ontario Shipyards. The vessel is now partially submerged and resting on bottom.”
