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.

Jervis Queen

Jervis Queen - 2011-08-26

Thunder Bay Tug's Jervis Queen - this little tug is seen now and again moving logs from the Mill log pond to the Stillwater dry-land log sort. Here we see her crew putting the finishing touches to the boom in the log pond, prior to hauling it out to open water. The last two pictures are one of the few times I've seen her come into the city's South Harbour.

Length: 10.97m Breadth: 4.11m Draft: 1.59m Power: 335 BHP Year Built: 1963
