Book Synopsis Tugboats on Puget Sound by : Chuck Fowler
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.

Book excerpt: Tugboats hold a fascination not only for anyone who has worked aboard a vessel or around a harbor but for many land-bound folks as well. There is something about their chunky, powerful build and their often risky but vital work that excites our interest and admiration. The captains and crews of the tugboats are justifiably proud of what they do, and they have some great stories to tell about the ships and barges they tow or push; the harbors, storms, tides, and dangerous passages they must negotiate; the unions; the pilots; the different designs and capabilties of their boats; and the way the boats and their livelihood are irrevocably changing.

Book Synopsis Tugboats of the Great Lakes by : Franz Von Riedel
Download or read book Tugboats of the Great Lakes written by Franz Von Riedel and published by Enthusiast Books. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early days of commercial navigation on the waterways of the Great Lakes, tugboats have been needed to guide the ships in and out of the newly constructed ports. As the means of transportation progressed from wooden schooners to large steel steamships, the tugboat also grew in size. This book takes an in-depth look into the ancient practices of Great Lakes ice-breaking, ship-assistance and towing. At the turn of the century, the towing industry changed forever with the consolidation of fleets and the design of the low-profile powerful steam ship-docking tug. This "G-Tug" design has become known all around the world and these same 80-year old tugs are still the primary workhorse in most harbors on the Lakes today. Many other designs, unique to the fresh waters of the Great Lakes are profiled in this book. The severe climate of the Great Lakes region is brutal on the equipment and the tugs are built tough, for heavy ice breaking. A new class of powerful Coast Guard ice-breaking tugs came out in the 1940s. Today, many of these "WYTM" class tugs survive in commercial service on the Lakes. The Lakes have always been home to a large fleet of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tugs. Additionally, U.S. Army auctions have brought many government-class tugs such as LTs, STs, and DPCs to the Lakes in the hands of private and commercial operators. In the rivers that feed the busy port of Chicago and all throughout New York State on the Erie Canal, a rare species of tug can be found-the famous "canallers" which are also featured in this volume.

Book Synopsis So You Want to Be a Tugboat Or a Towboat Mariner? by : Capt David L. Cole
Download or read book So You Want to Be a Tugboat Or a Towboat Mariner? written by Capt David L. Cole and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rivers of America have always held a certain mystique for mankind. Perhaps they bring to mind the tales of Tom Sawyer, Huck FInn, or Mark Twain? Rafts were built to use the rivers for transportation. But it only went down river! Then the great steamboats that could carry cargoes up and down the rivers. Those tasks have been taken over by modern diesel powered towboats. They cause us to look on in awe as they navigate the rivers with massive fleets of barges. They are stately, beautifully painted, and bear all manner of names by which to identify them. Well, we could stand on the river banks and watch or idly float down the rivers and marvel at these powerful modern wonders. Or if we meet the requirements we could actually travel on one of them and be well paid for our services. Have you ever looked up or down a river, and wondered what was just around the bend? River mariners can tell you, or you can sign up and look for yourself! The newer towboats are spacious and elaborate compared to the boats of yesterday. I developed this book to give insight into this career field. It provides factual information and guidance to persons wanting to seek career employment. The door is open and the welcome mats are out! Where else can a person earn $140K a year without a college education? See you on board! Captain Cole
