[appraised]

Best tugboat tour on YouTube, thanks Dan.

Great video, i've always wondered what the inside of one of these boats looks like. This brought it to life. Also very enjoyable for a Philly native like myself--nice views of the Girard Point Bridge and other sites. Thank you for posting this.

Very informative... Looks like a very professional tug with everything in its place. Thanks for sharing and you do a great job of breaking it down for us laymen. Thanks again.

Also, i never realized that the rear-facing wheelhouse had a full control station where you can steer and operate the throttles. I thought it was merely a place for a mate to sit and watch the tow. This is heaven for a boat nerd like myself. Thanks again and sorry for the repeat post.

Looks like a Vane Brothers Tug, I recognize the colors on it. I use to work on Offshore Tugs years back similar to that but some were bigger.

Great video Dan!
In my local harbour we actually have a Tugboat called "Dan"

Thanks for posting this interesting overview of Tug operations. You covered a lot in a short time. I'm curious about a few things: How many days is a typical 'shift' for a city tug crewperson, and how many crew typically on that type tug? Does one man/w do all kitchen duty and is s/he expected to do other duties too? Are hands employed by the tug company and stay with one boat, or do they come from a union and work different tugs at different times? Do you have HF radio capability, or is that only used on oceangoing tugs?

Neat and precise, I like that
Maybe next time while on duty, out of harbour ?

Excellent video man! Keep it up! Cheers!

Many thanks for an impressive tour, a real eye opener. Dare we ask the price tag on such an elegant vessel?

Thats a big tug boat, I dont think the ones in the UK are like that
