Tug Power

Mississippi River

This ship appears to be going down stream using the current and the tug for power. One can only assume that the engine is being work on and it will be restored before it the ship gets to the more congested part of the river down stream.

We get those tankers up and down the Firth of Forth but they are so far away, I can never get a shot like this...

Such a little tug and such a huge ship. Wonderful scale here.

I like how you have captured the feeling of scale here.... the positioning in the frame is good as well.

Those little tug boats sure can do some work. I like the way it's dwarfed by the hugeness of the ship.

Incredible power in those little Toots. Nice clear day after the fog of yesterday Breland.

One large boat! Great catch Breland! Wish I was there to see it :(

Scary thought to navigate those fast currents without an engine! Beautiful image!

She looks empty, too.

Very nice framing. It makes an already large ship look like a behemoth.
