Theodore Too tugged at the heartstrings of fans on P.E.I. Sunday, as a steady stream of children and parents stopped by the dock in Summerside to see and photograph the replica of the beloved TV character. The friendly tugboat was the star of a CBC children’s television show and worked as a tour boat in the Halifax Harbour.

After 21 years in Halifax, the 20-metre smiling tugboat left Thursday for its new home in Hamilton, Ont.

It was scheduled to leave Summerside on Monday morning but was still there at 16h00 EST

It is expected to make another stop in Richibucto, N.B.
