  From the Wheelhouse: Tugboaters Tell Their Own Stories

From the Wheelhouse: Tugboaters Tell Their Own Stories 
Towboats have been a part of British Columbia history since 1836, when the Hudson's Bay Company's ungainly sidewheeler SS "Beaver" made the first powered trip up the coast. Over the years tugs and their crews have towed just about everything, including food, machinery, rocks, paper, oil, salt, lumber, oil rigs, deep-sea ships, cars, and houses. Armitage outlines the ins and outs of the industry, the relentless tides, wild weather, breakaway barges, as well as the boredom, practical jokes, superstitions, camaraderie--and the agony of a failed rescue attempt.
