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.

Tee-Shu - this is the Catalyst Paper Mill's harbour tug, and she spends most of her life shuttling chip or hog fuel barges around the harbour, or assisting the bigger tugs that bring in the rail or slurry barges to the Mill. In the 4 most recent shots she was tied up in the City's South Harbour.

Length: 11.43m Breadth: 4.94m Draft: 1.31m Power: 600 BHP Year Built: 1979
