About Workboats and Tugboats

Just below is a picture link to a video of the Houston Ship Canal (Texas, USA). This is a great video made up of still images, time lapse photography. One is able see many different kinds of boats along with this ship maneuvering in and out of this very busy waterway.

Why this group was started:

Something personal. Ever since my childhood I have been an avid maritime lover. From lighthouses, SEE: Lighthouses

Anacapa Lighthouse

to the seashore I love it all. I grew up on near the waterfront in Washington, DC, Georgetown. The industrial waterfront is now gone, but the memories of sand and cement barges plowing the Potomac are still there. In my later years, I ventured to Baltimore ( Inner Harbor and Sparrows Point), then to New York City, Boston... Now I live in Ventura, California near Los Angeles: SEE: Ventura, California

Ventura Hillside Views: Coastline at Sunset


From my home's rooftop, I can see ships traveling into and out of both Los Angeles and Port Heuneme harbors; going and coming of workboats from offshore oil platforms; and coming and going of fishing boats harvesting squid, crab and other seafood delicacies.

I'm sure you have a story to tell about your maritime "Workboats and Tugboats." interests. Please submit your pictures so we and others can appreciate them. If you know a friend that enjoys "Workboats and Tugboats," ask them to join.
