The way the little tug listed to port as it was being pulled off of the bridge I thought it might go over.

Here's a tugboat in real trouble. At the Skookumchuck rapids in B.C.

North Arm Venture was towing the barge North Arm Express, loaded with fuel and deck cargo, from Toba Inlet to Sechelt Inlet. The tug girded and capsized...
