Description
Tugboats Illustrated explores the evolution and design of these hard-working boats, from their earliest steam-powered forms to today's hyper-specialized offshore workboats.
Through extensive photographs, dynamic drawings, and enlightening diagrams, Paul Farrell examines how tugs have adapted to their waterborne environment, driven by advances in technology and an ever-present element of danger.
The result is a fascinating look at the precision and determination that defines tugboat operations, from maneuvering ships in tight spaces to delivering heavy loads in challenging conditions.
