TUG This is the most amazing display of seamanship you will ever see!!!!!! Enjoy!. The tugboat is approaching the bridge with barges loaded with coal. This frame gives you an idea of how fast the river is running - obviously at or near flood stage. .

The tugboat is approaching the bridge with barges loaded with coal.

OH NO!!! The bridge didn't open, and the boat can't stop. Notice that the tug has released the barges. He is backing as hard as possible to try and avoid a collision with the bridge.
The wheelhouse door and the door in the second deck are now open.
Look closely at the bottom right and side of the picture and you will see that the bridge guardrail is underwater.
The company that built this Tug should get the Government contractto build our battle ships. (And cruisers like the Titanic).
Notice anything unusual? Look at the smoke coming from the exhausts. This thing is running!!!
Notice the propwash at the rear of the tug. The boat is upright and back under power. Ho Hum. Just another day on the river.Do you suppose the captain had to change his pants after all that?
