Tugs RULE!! Don't judge a boat by it's size alone!

I wish you had included some underwater views showing the props and how the tugs provide the power. (I'm sure you've covered that in another video, but it would be helpful here.) Keep up the good work!

Wonderful! Tug boats still play important roles nowadays!

I never thought about tug boats much, but they're quite interesting. I'll see them in a whole new light now. Thank you. Great video! 😊😊😊❤❤❤

Awsome content, reminds me of when growing up on the Mississippi River in Louisiana seeing all the tug boat action wit those large tankers!

A large diameter, short step propeller can literally move anything.

Girding is deadly most notably with the flying phantom

В начале видео показан буксир похожий на буксир снимавшиеся в советском фильме Берегите женщин 1981 года. Этот буксир США передал СССР в 1945 году

I know the tug that tried to tug a broke ass cruise ship, broke while trying, and another tug had to rescue that tug

Why? Because Tugs displace a lot less water than a container ship???

[mnonationalist]

A lot of incorrect info. Especially regarding gob wires. They do not help with interaction.

[cybervigilante]

Not very informative. Quite repetitious. And the "Genius Reason" was never explained, nor were other terms.
