    Sticking with the tugboat theme (because I think they're great).

    If you've ever wondered where those tiny little tugs get their power, this goes some way to explaining it:

    I googled the Rena as I'd never heard of it - and here's a very interesting article on the mind-boggling consequences of a grounding like this

    It happened 10 years ago in Devon and it was a proper treasure ship that shed its load onto the beach as salvage, barrels of wine, BMW motorbikes, Tractors, Playstations, jewellery etc:

    Cant believe this was a decade ago now.

    Among the valuable items of cargo being carried were 4000 cases of Sauvingn Blanc for Dunnes Stores. My wife who loves the stuff was inconsolable, luckly we managed to convert her to Pinot Grigio.:D

    Just to be clear, these are not the same incident. Rena ran around off NZ, not the UK!

    While I'm at it here's another NZ based boat, operating out of Queenstown

    ^Wow, she's a beauty! Great lines, and I love the funnel and the bridge.

    Here's two more tugs, slightly different examples.

    Impressive - it's size that is. But so bland and lacking in any charisma or charm. It could be one of a 100 similar looking cruise liners in the world today. I'm tempted to post some more pics from the golden age of ocean liners if I could get my blasted upload feature to work on my PC...

    Must say...I prefer the newer ones myself. Those older ones above are certainly no better..IMHO.
