From a perspective of more than fifty years in the industry, the
author wrote a wide-ranging work on all aspects of towing, in both
inland and ocean waters. Part I, The Industry, gives an overview,
followed by descriptions of types of tugs and modes of towing. Part
II, Operations, covers getting the tug under way, under way with
tow and at sea, and special types of towing. Towing as a Business,
part III, deals with the shore establishment. More than fifty
appendices consolidate data helpful to the tug-master. The text is
illustrated with more than 300 drawings, photographs, diagrams, and
other visual aids.
