Miss Stacy tugboat in trouble fights from getting sucked under bridge
en.wikipedia.or...
Harbour tugboats are generally smaller and the width-to-length ratio is often higher, due to the need for a lower draught. In smaller harbours these are often also termed lunch bucket boats, because they are only manned when needed and only at a minimum (captain and deckhand), thus the crew will bring their own lunch with them. The number of tugboats in a harbour varies with the harbour infrastructure and the types of tugboats. Things to take into consideration includes ships with/without bowthrusters and forces like wind, current and waves and type of ships (i.e. in some countries there is a requirement for a certain amount and size of tugboats for port operations with gas tankers).
River tugboats
River tugs are also referred to as towboats or pushboats. Their hull designs would make open ocean operation dangerous. River tugs usually do not have any significant hawser or winch. Their hulls feature a flat front or bow to line up with the rectangular stern of the barge, often with large pushing knees.

I know nothing about boats, but I'm very impressed at how that Moran tug turned back into the current so smoothly and tightly, and then proceeded ever so slowly to draw that cable taut. The best pros in any endeavor make it look so easy. Hats off to that skipper.

That's why the pussies in this world jump ship risking further damage if the boat unmanned gets through the bridge intact - they know the coast guard are watching them and not 'just cruising around' - thank God real men still exist doing their jobs..

+limolee007 I'm lucky in that my line of work is about as safe as it is possible to be. Nevertheless we all depend on others who work in dangerous circumstances - like construction sites, deep-sea fishing and as here materials handling on water. I respect the camerarderie and yes, bravery which this can demand. Yes. you are right that there is bravery demonstrated here. I understand the comments which say that they should have got off and treated it as an insurance write-off. But hey, for one at what point do you declare abandon ship? What if one person jumping ship leaves the next one unable to do so - as all crew a links in a chain? How to get off a listing vessel from which there is no way to launch a raft? Is the life-raft jammed up and unusable anyway? There's a risk that crew will end up in fast flowing water with strong under-currents. It is in these circumstances that presence of mind and unconditional regard for the safety of other crew can caount for a lot. Whichever way things turn out in a crisis like this it is best to hold back on criticism of folks who are doing a job we don't do, but need doing anyway. We are implicated in the supply chains of so many systems and take the workers involved too much for granted - strangers to us, but linked to us for sure. Thanks for your comment.

Tug boat crews have amazing skills. I used to work at Long Beach Naval Shipyard and witnessed a barge break loose from its mooring during a wind storm. The barge was being propelled toward a rock jetty that probably would have inflicted a lot of damage, but a quick-thinking tugboat operator and his crew raced across the harbor, lassoed the barge and brought it back to safety as if this was an everyday event. I was impressed!

Back in the 1990's during a flood on the Willamette River in Portland ,Oregon; I watched a pair of tugs push against a low railroad bridge for 24 hours to keep it from coming off its footings. And it worked. There's much more to tugs and their crews than just pushing barges and ships around. Many of them have fire fighting capabilities just like dedicated fire boats too. This video is just another example of the amazing resourcefulness of these men and their machines.

I got caught in this once, I had to make an emergency visit to Portsmouth in my sailboat, because my engine died on the way to Maine. With a steady breeze and full sails, I found myself being pushed backward. Piscataqua river has about 4 knots of tidal current on an ebb tide, add in the river current it can get quite strong. A good reason to read the pilot guide before you go into a strange harbor. Thankfully the pulled out of this one just in time, the engine compartment must have been flooded.

The "Pusher" Tug will probably need to de-water the Engine Room and get a new pair of shorts for the Engineer! The difference between the two boats is that, the Harbor Tug (Moran Towing) is ship assist and towing this one is an old-school "Boot Heel" type the Blue and white tug is a shallow draft tug that marries up the end of a barge and uses pushing cables that allow the tug to push up river where shallow depth and narrow bridges exist. Good work by the river cowboys and Moran crew dogs!

effyleven, that is a good point. I crewed on the Golden Hinde in England years ago and we had to have a tug pull us off a pier on a river in northern England when we got locked in by the rivers current when the tide was ebbing. Well, we didn't go anywhere because the tug had to come in so close to the Hinde that the tugs propwash pushed the Hinde nearly as hard as the tug was pulling and the rivers current was enough to ensure that we went nowhere until the turn of the tide. I think the bigger tugs captain also angled his tug so that the propwash went more towards the center of the river and not directly at the Miss Stacy. Whoever the captain and crew of the big tug were, they seemed to know what they were doing. I am glad to see that the crew of the Miss Stacy stayed with her and fought to save her.

Eugene Moran is a beautiful old style tugboat. Snaps a hard turn with power! "Hold my beer and watch this!" Under perfect control and a well practiced crew. No panic, just a casual stance waiting for the next command. Not a wasted movement. I wonder what the bollard pull strength is of the Eugene. and the size of the prop.

And you know it had 700 hp! Just a cool lifestyle. Just idling across that slick bridge every day. Eversince seeing that guy ive always paid attention to tugs and their crew.
