This review is from: On the Hawser: A Tugboat Album (Hardcover)

In one of my past incarnations,I was a deckhand on one of the tugs mentioned in your book,the Baleen.I not only was a crewmen on the Baleen,I was on her when she went down.Having spent a good portion of my life on tugs,I found this book to be an inciteful look into the world of tugs and towing.A must for all lovers of the sea and tugboats in particular.
