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.

North Arm Wave

North Arm Wave - 2020-03-04

North Arm Wave - with the most recent shots she was heading in to the Catalyst Mill habour with her tow, the barge North Arm Trader. She disgorged her load, and continued south on Malaspina Strait, empty. Another pink-and-white North Arm Transportation boat, hard to miss on the water.

Length: 19.29m Breadth: 6.22m Draft: 2.99m Power: 760 BHP Year Built: 1963
