This Tug boat is a real work hoarse and, it is quite literally life blood to the area. We see it bringing barges from the "mainland", loaded with goods for the grocery stores, and hardware stores, just to name a few of the multitude of reasons. We see it taking barges away filled with aggregate sand from the area and off to California, replenishing that disappearing coast. Or, log booms to wood mills that will later become building material for housing projects or perhaps furniture.

Like blood to our arteries, these "vessels" are in many ways the life blood to the area. They bring various goods, and transport other cargos by way of barge. This one is lit and on its way toward its next port of call.
These two bolts only have one nut between them, thus causing this tussle and fight! They are desperately trying to gain ownership it! A rubber washer is acting as referee in the tug.
