Coast Guard responds to sinking boat with monster energy drinks and cell phones.

If that tug company is anything like my old client, they'll raise it from the bottom and refab it. Since it's in port, I'm sure it has to be removed anyways. Their company had a 1800's tug that they just put a new powerplant in. They're extremely tough boats.

Imagine all the ships she has guided, all the storms, all the crews who walked her decks. Goodbye old sailor.

As a captain (and just as a person with a heart) this is sad to see. At a minimum they should have prepared it for an artificial reef and towed it out to a safe area and given her a whole new life

Sad end for an old, hard working girl. R.I.P

Even the tug boats are homeless in Seattle Washington

I feel sad seeing an old boat sink like that.

Imagine how many times that tug was used to save someone’s day. Seems like a rather undignified way to go out. 😔

Poor Gal worked hard for many yrs.
All she wanted was a little love.
She’s broken hearted and very tired poor Girl…..

Poor tugger just said “I’m gonna lay down now”😢

Thank God for the Coast Guard. Without them we might've missed the part where they don't do a damn thing.

This makes me sad. She worked hard her whole life and this is the final thanks for her service. 😢

Commercial diver here. I salvage these boats. I also happen to live in Seattle, these boats are abandoned by their owners for the most part. We have lots of them around here.

It is a sad sight to see a ship sink. 😢

[BigBadJohn]

That's sad. I'm a mechanic and it really seems like some machines have a life of their own, it's a shame that they get treated the way they do.

For years my husband dreamed about getting a retired tug to rehab and live aboard. This video would make him so sad. As someone else said, all she needed was some love.

[snitt]

That is so sad. She was beautiful and alive at one time.❤

Glad that the coast guard is finally hiring musicians to play appropriate background piano lines during derelict tug sinking.

Imagine years ago this boat coming off the line. The ceremony and people that gathered to watch its launch only to be sitting derelict in a shipping yard, neglected and thrown away. And now it sits on the bottom of the harbor. Friggin sad man. Imagine the stories that boat could tell.

The amount of people who don’t understand the coast guard is alarming
