Tugboat

Mystic Seaport

This tugboat currently sits at the entrance to Mystic Seaport, The Museum of America and the Sea in Mystic, Connecticut.  This is one of my favorite places to visit and I've posted many images from here in past blog posts.  I can always find something of interest to photograph here.  This tugboat has quite a history.  It was built by the workers at the Electric Boat Company in Groton, CT and served there for decades as a tug for the submarines built there.  Just about every nuclear submarine in the US Navy has been touched by this tugboat.

  1. Boats by their very nature are beautiful, and tugs hold a special place. They aren't fast or sleek, but useful in so many ways. I see the Kingston II also has a water canon for display or fire fighting. Fine post.

  2. You're right about boats. They have beautiful lines, even these working boats. I'll be posting more this week from the seaport. Thanks for visiting.

  5. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism
    or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd genuinely appreciate
    it.

  11. Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you've done a very good job with this.
    Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Safari.
    Superb Blog!
