(NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark.) — A tugboat that assisted Navy ships during the Pearl Harbor attack has arrived at the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper reported. The transport of USS Hoga had been delayed at New Orleans and Houston by the U.S. Coast Guard, and museum officials are glad that it has arrived in time of the Dec. 7 commemoration of the World War II attack. Hoga responded to burning ships during the attack in Hawaii.
