The Travels of Tug 44


Tug44 Videos





In September 2006, we arranged with Tug National to be a photo platform as Tug 44 blew by at full throttle. Captain Curt of Tug National said "You can't tip me!" so it became nessary to at least try. While the 41 ton National stayed upright it sure did rock and we did blow water through her engine room portholes.

And they said that trawlers can't go 18 knots!

Special thanks to Jennifer of Tug National for making these videos.

The loud rumble is Tug National's engine, the woosh is the water as Tug 44 passes by.

Here's what Tug 44 looks like at full throttle:
