The detailed history walks readers through the development of these beautiful creations of woodwork and engineering from the first makeshift tug to today's rugged powerhouse models.Interviews with working captains and profiles of legendary sea dogs depict the colorful and often difficult lives of tugboat crewdaily routines that differ substantially from most of our own as they work in tight quarters under the constant threat of dangerous water conditions.The book describes how, through an intricate choreography of movements, a fleet of tugs navigates massive ships and tankers into narrow waterways, around perilous shallows and into tight docking bays. Their world is a delicate balance of nautical engineering, brute motor force and coordination among vessels that can oftenmean the difference between safety and disaster.
