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.

Stormforce

Stormforce - 2014-10-10

Stormforce - one of several tugs in the Pacific Cachalot fleet, she is based in Campbell River. Everytime I've seen her she has been pulling a logboom south. In the most recent shots she had pulled her boom in tight and was idling off the local harbour, waiting out the weather.

Length: 19.57m Breadth: 7.68m Draft: 3.2m Year Built: 1975
