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.

Haisea Guardian

Haisea Guardian - 2015-10-24

Haisea Guardian - till early in 2014 she was the Seaspan Guardian,  and before that Finning Tractor's Gulf Irene. She is now being operated out of Kitimat by a partnership between Seaspan and the Haisla First Nation. In the latest photos she had once again towed a barge of logs to the Stillwater dryland log sort. While her barge unloads she comes to the South Harbour to take on fuel and is shown entering the harbour.

Length: 22.25m Breadth: 7.32 Draft: 2.9m Power: 746 KW Year Built: 1974
