Yesterday we started talking about tugboats, and there was so much to say that I decided to to do a second episode.
Tugboats are the maritime essence of the saying, “big things in small packages.” Today, among other things, a story about how tugs helped a big ship dock safely in heavy current in a port in British Columbia.
Today we’ll hear Part 2 of “A Bit about Tugboats on the Ship Report.”
