Title: You don't have to be an enthusiast to enjoy this book
Product review: This book caught my eye in a Vancouver boat store, and I'm glad that I bought it. Tugs are part of the unseen infrastructure that brings us food and cars--we don't take them for granted so much as ignore them completely. This is unfortunate, because tugboats are a fascinatingly complex subject. They are built-to-order, specialized for open water, harbor and river service. They push, they pull, and they put out fires. This book assumes no knowledge of the subject, making concepts such as towing and thrust propulsion mechanisms accessible and interesting. Well-illustrated, well-written, and engrossing, I recommend this book for those who enjoy boats of any kind, or are merely curious about how things work.
