I worked on tugs for eight years. When things go wrong they go wrong fast.
I've been on a similar boat called the Pat D.
3900 horsepower with a viewing deck and state rooms below for executives that wanted to take a ride. The exec. rooms (two of them)
had separate baths, kitchen and living room.
Plus room for a volleyball court on the stern deck. Never put one up thou.
I just heard rumors last night about a tug in N.Y. flipping over and killing someone who got trapped inside. It can take as little as three seconds for a tug to flip.
The last company I worked for loses 25% of their deckhands to lost time injuries each year.
It's not the safest job around.
