Good job again, Capt Reid

Needs to be in the hands of all beginning tugboaters (and many captains too)

A good study text for those who work with or on tugs

This book provides new or experienced pilots, tugmen, or masters (or sailors aspiring to those positions) a concise and well authored manual on the use of tugs. Ample illustrations help clarify points brought up in the reading. The end of chapter questions bring together the key points which were covered in the text and can be used to ensure comprehension of important material. I am sure this book will find a place in many seabags over the years!
