How to get licensed to be a tugboat captain? My fiance' has the goal of captaining a tugboat (in Oregon, if that matters). I've been looking over the US Coast Guard website for books he can use to study for the exams. Does anyone know any? And what, exactly, would be the title of the necessary license? I've seen some tugboat workers around on this site so this doesn't seem like a complete shot in the dark. :) He plans to work on the river - not the ocean.
How would you describe the most modern tugboat? This community gave me a good summation of Tugboat History. I have read about GE developing a hybrid Tug. Now I would like to know what is the latest and greatest to date. It is comforting to read about industries from the 19th century that are still going strong. I love Rail Roads for the same reason. I associate this country with the development of industry in that century, but I also like to see how our industries have evolved and changed.
How healthy is this attraction to a man who leaves 28 days at a time to be on a tugboat...? I've met this guy who is a tugboat captain and leaves town for 28 days at a time. I find him intriguing and seem to be drawn to the whole "yearning" thing with men... All I can think of is all the things I could do for him while he is gone and then the re-kindling we would do when he's home... Why is it that some women enjoy the "hunt" and will long for a man - even when other men are everywhere?
How can I get a job on a tugboat? How could I go about getting a job on a tugboat, or something along that line? What qualifications do i need, and what is recommended? How do I apply? Any info is greatly appreciated!
What's the difference between a tugboat and a towboat? Is there a difference? Wikipedia says that they are often referred to as each other, a tugboat being a towboat, and vice versa... but how can this be true? You'd think TOWboats would be towing, but it says that they are used for pushing barges. The towboat's bow is flat, making it so it can push barges, but the tugboat's bow is rounded... yet Wikipedia says they can not only pull barges but also push them. How is this possible? Is there a difference between the two? If so, what is the difference?
What are the requirements to work on a tugboat? Whats the minimum age? Do you have to go to a tech school? Do you need to have a high school diploma? Will be working in the gulf of Mexico, New Orleans to Brownsville. Looking to start out as a deckhand and work my way up. Thanks.

Who'd win in a triple threat match between TugBoat, Popeye, and Bluto? We all know that if Popeye finds his spinach, Bluto is going down. What's TugBoat gonna do when Popeye finds his spinach under the ring? Has Tugboat always has a secret can of spinach he never ate in the WWF as he could've beat an entire roster had he eaten it? So who'd win between Popeye and Tugboat after they both eat their spinach and Bluto is taken out of the competition?
What does is mean when you are a 'tugboat'? When somebody says, you are a 'tugboat' what does that mean? My sister said when we were watching gymnastics on the olympics that they chose the other american girl instead of Shawn Johnson because shawn johnson was 'built like a tugboat'. I don't understand. I feel so stupid. I've been asking her, is so and so a tugboat and she just tells me right away! I'm really confused and feel stupid.
A question about The Undertaker vs Tugboat? On Youtube, I was watching a video from 1991 featuring a match involving The Undertaker and Tugboat. Under the comments, one person said "CM Punk at 0:43". So I paused at 0:43, and sure enough there was a kid who looked just like CM Punk. Just out of curiosity, does anybody by chance know for sure if it was really him or not?

Since the speed of sound waves and light waves is constant, do all similar waves have the same speed? Why? A tugboat and a speedboat make waves that travel at the same speed. Why? Light waves and sound waves travel at the same speed. Why? I am curious and I've taken a year of physics, so it's no holes-barred for scientific mumbo-jumbo. Throw me any answers you got. I know light and sound are different speeds from each other, I am asking why all sound in the same medium travels the same speed and why all light in the same medium travels the same speed.
Movie made to look like a newscast about a nuclear device on a tugboat? I think this came out before "The Day After" or around the same time. I am thinking '83-84 because I was in 7th grade. It may not be a tugboat, but I am pretty sure it is a boat. Terrorists promised to detonate. I seem to remember it had commercials that were inturrupted with "Special Reports" but there was a disclaimer that you were watching a movie. It was a United States film. I think the device did explode. It was not The Day After. You may have even been assigned to watch it as homework. Many households in my region did not have cable TV available at the time, so the school librarian recorded it for kids to watch it in study hall. Does the ring a bell with anybody??? It was made for TV Thanks Andre L! I dogpiled "Bomb tugboat" and found the same page. I thought I had done that a few months back, and found nothing! Congrats and 10 points!

Scuffy the Tugboat is a rip-off!? If you don't know who Scuffy the Tugboat or Little Toot is, look them up. Don't you agree that Scuffy the Tugboat completely copied Little Toot's main idea? Scuffy the Tugboat was also made about ten years later, so Little Toot had no chance of copying Scuffy. Thank you!
