Tug Sites

Yes, we can discuss the big boats, the real thing. We have many connections to the large boats. We'll pass on information from various organizations that we run into such as TES The Tugboat Enthusiasts Society. There's a site in Baltimore which details the refurbishment of a small working tug into a liveable tug, the Wildflower. He links us up to the International Retired Tugboat Association. He also mentions the famous Olympia Harbor Days where they race tugboats, retired and working.
