There is something about tugboats that fascinates me. Historically tugboats were the first seagoing vessels to receive steam propulsion, freedom from the restraint of the wind, and the capability of going in any direction. They are a small, but powerful boat used to push or pull barges or to help maneuver larger vessels. When I was on a cruise I loved watching them maneuver our big ship around. These little boats are truly little workhorses. I'll probably paint another one very soon because they are such fun subject matter.
