Because the barges moved around harbors and up the coastal and even transoceanic waterways have become so large in the past half-century - bigger in their own right than many ships - tugboats optimized for handling them have become correspondingly taller to afford their pilots a satisfactory view. Many tugs are built with elevated pilot houses, while others have had additions put on an existing superstructure. Because they're intended for working with such large "tows," these tugs tend to be among the most powerful in the business. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THE PRICES - IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ. The three smaller print sizes (3x5, 4x6, and 4xD) are priced with the tugboat enthusiast, researcher, and collector in mind, for personal use without further reproduction in any form. A license for reproduction or publication normally applies only to the larger print sizes (5x7 through 12x18) which are priced in accordance with “stock photography” rates. Each print 5x7 and larger is accompanied by a one-time license for reproduction or publication. All pictures presented here are copyrighted by Don Sutherland. If you have any questions, please ask by e-mail before ordering. Flexibility is our middle name and dealmaking is our game, so get in touch anytime if you would like to discuss ambitions, intentions, or applications other than those covered.
