Tug

A tug is a motorship, which is used to pull other ships (see shipping) in harbours, over the open sea or through rivers and canals.

Tugs are quite stong for their size. Early tugs had been steam engines , today mostly diesel engines are used. They have mostly a high manoeuvrability due to their propulsion units. Instead of a normal propeller, often the so called Schottel[?] propulsion system or the Voith-Schneider[?] propulsion system are used.

Beyond the Circle, to the world's white crest. And on the wind-flailed Arctic waste we stayed, Fur had they, white fox, marten, mink to trade, So we made snug, chummed up with all the band: V What was that ill so sinister and dread, So that we waked one morn to find them fled; Bravely she smiled and looked into my eyes; Gaily she mocked the menace of the skies, Saying: "'Twill soon be over, dearest one, VI God made a heart of gold, of gold, Gave it a home of fairest mould, And the lark its radiant glee; God gave you, Heart, to me. Our cabin beaconed with defiant light; Closer and closer cowered the hag-like night. And there was none in all that stricken land; Learned we to love as few can understand. There in the sullen shadow of the Pole. Brave was she; buoyant, full of sunny cheer. Then did I turn from her, heart-sick with fear; Prayed in my pain to that insensate sky; "Sunshine! O heart of gold! to die! to die!" That one you love should die on Christmas day. No tears to shed, no moan, no prayer to pray. They say Death parts, but I won't go away. Oh I will plead with God to let me stay! Till sunshine comes . . . be brave . . . I'm tired . . . good-bye. . . ." .
