Tugboats Today
Originally the tugs purpose was the towing of ocean sailing vessels to and from their intended docks. Today, mighty engines move ships, yet these ships continue to require assistance of these powerful and responsive tugboats in and out of docks throughout Puget Sound and around the world. The construction of today’s tugboats includes the most advanced functional designs, advanced electronic navigation and mighty engines combined with the finest able-bodied crews and skilled captains. ARGH! Lads! This is seafaring.
Vintage Pacific Coast Tugboats
Artwork dedicated to the men of the Pacific Coast’s fleet of working boats, and to the gallant vessels, which will forever live in our memory.
Classic Pacific Coast Tugboats: Gallant workboats with a history of nostalgic drama and color in tugboat operation on Pacific waters. Tugboats are a colorful and essential part of the Pacific Coast seascape today, just as they were a century ago.
Pushing their way through fierce storms to find a stricken ship a thousand miles at sea or sailing down a fairway on a summer afternoon with seagulls crying and catching rides on the boom of logs astern, tugboats are a colorful and essential part of the Pacific Northwest Coast today.
The hiss of steam and the creak of walking beams have given way to diesel and tractor power. Tugboats are a story of brave men in powerful vessels who are not afraid to take on a mighty ocean. A history of hard-hitting sea adventures of the great ships of sail and steam alike.
