Tugboats, Tugboats, Tugboats: Victory V

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.

Victory V

Victory V - 2013-07-20

Rapid Towing's Victory V - of the handful of times I have spotted her, these 2 are the only times she hasn't been tied up to a boom being pulled south by the Rapid Providour. She was on her own - no tow - both days, the top two shots heading north as she rounded Grief Point, and the bottom shots as she came into the South Harbour to fuel up on her way south two days earlier.

Length: 10.58m Breadth: 4.27m Draft: 1.52m Power: 335 BHP Year Built: 1964
