Tugboats, the semi's of the ocean. They pass Powell River pulling logbooms, construction barges, scows of hogfuel and chips for the local paper mill, train barges, barges loaded with
semi-trailers and chemical tankers and more. And I take their pictures as they pass.

Here you will find some of the photos I have taken of those tugboats as they pull their tows up and down Malaspina Strait and the surrounding waters. Big ones and little ones, good looking tugs and some not so.
I like them all, and if you like tugs - including tugs converted to other uses - I invite you to have a look.

Inlet Rustler - another Gowlland Towing tug that is seen on the Strait now and again, towing logbooms. Built for them by MacTavish Welding in Campbell River. In the first 2 shots bad weather had her waiting with her boom in tight in front of Powell River before rounding Grief Point.
