Download or read book Tugboats on Puget Sound written by Chuck Fowler and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While square-rigged sailing ships, steamboats and ferries, and ever-larger cruise and cargo-carrying vessels have made their mark on Puget Sound's maritime history, no other vessels have captured the imagination of shore-bound seafarers like tugboats. Beginning in the 1850s when the first steam-powered tugboats arrived in the Sound from the East Coast via San Francisco, company owners and their crews competed fiercely for business, towing ships, log rafts, and barges. The magnetic attraction of powerful, tough tugs both large and small is unexplainable but enduring. This book, featuring about 200 rare historic images and carefully researched text, tells the colorful story of tug boating on Puget Sound.

Download or read book Towboat on the Ohio written by James E. Casto and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To get a personal look at what it is like to work on the Ohio River, newspaperman James E. Casto spent eight days aboard the Blazer as it traveled the Ohio from Huntington, West Virginia, to Pittsburgh, up the Allegheny and the Mongahela, and then back to Huntington. The Paul G. Blazer, a gleaming white towboat owned and operated by Ashland Oil, pushes a group—or "tow," as the rivermen call it—of nine barges on this trip. Along the way, Casto introduces us to Captain Ronnie Davis, pilot Ronnie Burge, engineer Steve Bellomy, the mates, the deckhands, and the cook, as well as the river itself, the life and the beauty that are the Ohio. Interwoven with the narrative of the trip upriver and back is the history of commerce on the Ohio—of how the flatboats and keelboats gave way to the steamboats and how, in turn, the steamboats were replaced by today's powerful, diesel-powered boats such as the Blazer. Mark Twain wrote that the Mississippi had a new story to tell every day. The same can be said of the Ohio. As engaging as it is informative, Towboat on the Ohio tells one of the many stories of the busy, hardworking Ohio River.

Download or read book An Introduction to Towboating and the Towing Industry written by John C. Farmer and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written in the hopes that it will encourage more people to join this industry and provide needed information for others. There are numerous books on Tugboats (see appendix 1) but the author had not been able to locate one on Towboats. Everyone loves and remembers the small yet powerful Tugboats primarily because of the association with the much larger vessels that they help maneuver in docking and undocking situations. The Towboat is much less well known and appreciated. Towboats have been around since the eighteen hundreds and are a major part of the United States transportation infrastructure. Probably the reason they are not as well known is that unless you live by a river or the Intracoastal Waterway you may not have ever seen a towboat. They just do their job day after day with very little recognition. Occasionally the news, if you live in a river area, may report that a barge hit a bridge often with little damage. Without the existing barge industry our highways would be even more congested than they are now. There is a move underway to try to expand the use of barge transportation for inland shipping of containers that arrive at our ports. This would certainly be a move in the right direction as you will see by reading this booklet. If you are involved with shipping, responsible for legislation, interested in the 'brown water' marine industry, are looking for a rewarding job, or just plane curious this is the book for you. --Website.

Book excerpt: After the initial release in 1983 of Way's Packet Directory, 1848-1983, the demand was enormous for a similar treatment of the steam towboats that once populated the Mississippi River System. Captain Frederick Way, Jr., aided by Joseph W. Rutter, gathered together this wealth of information concerning steamboats that shoved river barges laden with coal, petroleum products, chemicals, sand, gravel, and similar bulk commodities from the headwaters of the Ohio River to the jetties of the Mississippi. The steam towboats that performed these services have completely disappeared from the scene, their places having been taken by hundreds of modern diesel-propeller towboats, but this thorough and remarkable reference guide helps preserve their history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words like water skier, boat builder, designer, innovator, promoter, family man, and friend, are among many that describe Rob Shirley. When Rob first introduced his 18-foot MasterCraft inboard to the world on July 4th, 1968, he changed the towboat scene with "a revolutionary new tournament ski boat designed and built by a tournament skier for the ultimate in tournament performance." Paul Chapin, President USA Water Ski Educational Foundation Rob Shirley led a team of dedicated family and friends in the creation of the MasterCraft Brand. Many of their stories and accomplishments are chronicled within these pages, and many of those dedicated and loyal members of the MasterCraft family are no longer with us. But, their efforts live on in the perfection they have helped to create, and in the memories of those who knew them, worked with them and shared in the accomplishments of the entire MasterCraft experience. Jon Broderick, Author Rob Shirley founded MasterCraft in 1968 with a vision of creating the best ski boat in the industry. He accomplished that and established a foundation that would create the best-known brand in the Performance Sport Boat category within the overall boating industry. Today we continue to build on that legacy. MasterCraft currently has 12 models in its portfolio, the most of any brand in the Performance Sport Boat category. Anchoring our line-up is the Prostar three-event ski boat along with 11 other models that support wakeboarding, wake surfing and general recreational boating. MasterCraft is an iconic brand synonymous with quality, innovation and performance, built around the brand pillars of Legacy, Power, Precision and Progression.

Download or read book The Steam Tug written by George Swede and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Steam Tug is a historical read about the evolution of the steam engine and steam tug. Developed and patented in England in 1737, the author takes the reader to the end of the roaring 1850s in New York Harbor. It was not until 1807 that Robert Fulton introduced the first commercially successful steamboat the “Clermont” on the Hudson River in New York. In the early 1800s sailing ships entering the harbor would lie at anchor in Sandy Hook for days and weeks waiting for wind to power them into the harbor so they could offload their cargo. Due to the expansion of shipping and commerce during the mid 1800s, sailing ships realized that small steam ferries operating between Staten Island and lower Manhattan could tow them into local wharfs to discharge their cargo and begin loading domestic goods to distant ports abroad saving valuable time. With the advent of large clipper ships, increased commerce and advanced steam boats, would lead to the rise and birth of a new industry, The Towing Business.
