Little Tugs in New Bedford and Gloucester

[@Slithey7433]

This awakened a memory from my childhood. “Little Toot”, Disney, 1948. 😊

[@servicarrider]

As a child I spent countless hours watching the tiny tugs work the logs in the various mill ponds that stretched all along the Columbia River in the Gorge region of Washington State in the mighty Pacific Northwest of the United States west coast. Good fishing ponds. At that time the nine mile long The Broughton Flume was still very much in operation delivering timber to the mills. I fell in love with those little boats way back then and have been fascinated by them ever since. Of course they were not the works of art that these boats are but I have always been enthralled by working machines and utility vehicles, and sometimes that means the more rugged, the better.

It's so nice that I can't stop smiling. I have to stop watching what others are doing and start building myself!!!

[@anasqai]

Whats the expenses like price of oil? If like a daily use arnd 1.5hrs for fishing? To boat is actually quite common sense right, in parking just slow down and like a landing as the momentum still exist? Thinking abt the ruling movement, it is unfair due to secret invasion right? Not really about Money Crisis? Because by common sense people maybe still able to create boat ownself.

[@Евгенчик-н1ф]

Boat for baby

harassed by the coast guard of course. "Where are you going?" does it matter? I always answer: "Wherever I'm free to go in this country". They always seem put off, but it's a stupid question in a free country for a federal employee to stop you and ask. Coast Guard will not usually assist any vessel in distress, and their role in recent years is to harass recreational boaters, unless they look rich. pathetic. most of the coast guardsmen do not even know anything about boats, except what they learned in Asshole school. They are armed too. One of their boats was speeding at 30knots amongst a christmas parade of lights a few years ago, and hit a small boat (which was lit up as part of the parade), killing a young boy on board, and his grandfather, the owner of the boat. the boy was decapitated. They were supposedly responding to a call about a boat that was making a little bit too much wake, and claimed that they had the right away. The coast guard should only hire people with actual experience, but no, they hire idiots, give them high speed boats, guns. they are doing a great job. the coast is still there.. and they are all 7 feet tall, so when their boat sinks, they can just walk home.

[@edmctug8800]

Bingo Thats why you only see these toy tugs as in this video all the small tugboats and all around work boats got croaked by Chapter M A whole new costly regiment of audit, saftey manage ment, hull inspections,certigcate of inspections over kill for a low risk operations any thig over 26 ft has to be inspected !

[@FPVREVIEWS]

@@edmctug8800 wow I can fit a big engine in a 25 foot tug.

[@edmctug8800]

@@FPVREVIEWS Most of theses cookie cuter horrible push boat have 2 engines and up to 600 hp great for marine contruction companys but are deadly if you go past the sea bouy !

[@FPVREVIEWS]

@@edmctug8800 Yep, harbour tugs are different from ocean tugs for sure.

[@mrmr6563]

I wonder what engines they run? And if they actually have pulling/pushing power like a real tug
