Tugboats, the semi's of the ocean. They pass Powell River pulling logbooms, construction barges, scows of hogfuel and chips for the local paper mill, train barges, barges loaded with
semi-trailers and chemical tankers and more. And I take their pictures as they pass.

Here you will find some of the photos I have taken of those tugboats as they pull their tows up and down Malaspina Strait and the surrounding waters. Big ones and little ones, good looking tugs and some not so.
I like them all, and if you like tugs - including tugs converted to other uses - I invite you to have a look.

Ocean Gayle

Mercury Launch and Tug's Ocean Gayle - like the rest of that fleet seldom seen in Powell River since they no longer haul the City Transfer barge back and forth to Richmond.  In the most recent photos she was delivering a modular building to the Powell River waterfront.
