The Forceful was intentionally scuttled just off the South shore, very close to the smaller tug I visited a couple weeks previously.
Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Company is the world’s leader in providing battery-powered movers and pullers to the aircraft, manufacturing, hospital, and retail industries. They provide solutions that eliminate the strains and pains associated with manually pushing airplanes, heavy carts and wheeled equipment, or are less costly, smaller, and more maneuverable than traditional equipment like ride on tugs and fork trucks which are not designed to push/pull aircraft and equipment.
Their new battery powered, walk-behind, quiet electric airplane tug, called the AircraftCaddy 4K Jr., is designed for one person to safely and easily push and pull an airplane in and out of a hangar. This design came from customers inquiring on a simpler, and more cost effective tug that only pulls and pushes smaller planes without having all the flexibility of some of our larger, more versitle tugs.
The AircraftCaddy 4K Jr airplane tug has smooth acceleration and braking systems that eliminates the rough starting/stopping of gas powered clutching systems. Also, the quietness of the electric motor allows an operator to manipulate their airplane while having the full use of sound, site, and touch.
Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Company manufactures the highest quality airplane tugs ranging in capacity from 4K to 35K at very competitive prices. Please contact them today at 1-800-686-2651 or visit them on the web at www.lindbergh.com/aircraft-tug.com
The Tug PEGASUS has assisted us many times in the past two years I've been with this unit; several times while reverse lightering to ships, once bringing the barge out of dry dock in Brooklyn, and several times putting into our yard in the Gowanus. Her crew must take a lot of pride in her upkeep because her paint is always resplenent. Here she was escorting us through the dredging zones in the Kills after assisting us in getting under way from KMI Staten Island with a load.
The tug, the 'Mourne Shore', pulled the barge (laden with machinery) into the harbour. In this pic the tug is trying to push the barge into the berth. Howth, Dublin, Ireland

The Tug Bar, not named for what you could get in the back for a couple of bucks but because it's by the port. A building that will surely fall to the wrecker's ball as this part of Old Montreal is now a desirable place to live and stay

Tiaki is a state of the art Damen 2411 ASD (azimuthing stern drive) tug, built in the Son Cam Shipyard, Haiphong, Vietnam and delivered in Wellington on 13 February 2008. Bollard pull is 68 tonnes. Tiaki means ‘to care for or protect’.
Tiaki started life when her plates were first cut on 4 September 2007. The hull was built in modules in a covered shed before being assembled in a dry dock.
The vessel was launched on 2 December 2007 and trials were undertaken in Halong Bay – where the tug exceeded all contractual requirements.
Her delivery voyage took one month – at a speed of 8 knots to conserve fuel. A stop was made in Madang to refuel.

Now registered at Montreal, Quebec she is currently based in Goderich and working as a tractor tug performing ship assist work.
My wife's family was visiting from out of state. We decided to visit Soutport, NC on Saturday. While there we got to see the Elizabeth Ann tug boat towing barge 6001 Norfolk, VA.
Lots of running around with intermittent standing around tugging on a rope toy at the Joinville dog park tonight. Hope got lots of exercise chasing Mackey (the one who looks a little like Hope), Nelly (the black one), Bailey (the Boston), and a cute puppy Cleo around the park.
The video on my new iPhone is pretty amazing - HD quality and easy to use. This was the first video I shot, so I haven't tried manual focus / exposure yet. I think I'm gonna need a bigger hard drive...
