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.

Island Scout (2)


Island Scout - 2019-07-04

Island Scout - an American tug, owned by Island Tug and Barge (not to be confused with the Island Scout belonging to the Canadian company of the same name), she came here with an empty barge and waited several days while the barge was filled with scrap metal. In these photos she had left the harbour to do a spot of sport fishing. The ex - Mikioi, ex -  Master, and ex - L.T.Campbell - she's been around.
