Outstanding colletion of black-and-white photos of tugboats spanning a long range of time from the wooden boat era, to modern tugs of the 1970s. Primaryily North American boats, but there is a chapter on international tugs. Even a good chapter on salvage tugs. Photos show tugs at work and even tugs under construction (great for the model builder). Each photo is accompanied by commentary and usually some technical information about the boat.
There are many photographers and eras represented, so photo quality varies, but most are clear and well reproduced. Can't verify all factual content, but commentary appears to be well-researched.
