Riding the tugboats of Crescent Towing in the Port of Savannah, and through photographs showing what these mighty little boats do. It is a story of escorting ships through a narrow river channel to their destination, turning the ship around in turning basins for their return to the ocean and pushing them into a berth. There is little that's routine about this job--huge objects the size of the Empire State Building floating in a river subject to tides, currents, and winds, in daylight and on moonless nights, in all kinds of weather. A wrong turn, the smallest of wrong moves, or an equipment failure can ground a ship with dire consequences for the crews, the ship and the entire port operation.The photographs also show the maintenance of the tugboats, their powerful engines and drive systems. The book touches on the life aboard, on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The skills divided amongst the crew members and the river and docking pilots that work with the tugboats to safely navigate and dock the ships.I am glad to have this opportunity to share both these photographs and what I learned being involved with the Crescent Towing tugboats.
