Description

Media Type: Image
Description: A model of a tugboat made c. 1890 by P.J. Carr. Tugboats such as this have been operating on waterways for nearly 200 years. They are often used to maneuver large vessels that cannot safely move themselves in crowded harbours or canals, or to move ships that lack their own propulsion system such as barges, disabled ships or oil platforms.
