This is a vivid account of those ten tough years, including successes, failures, tows and rescues. A barge adrift in a hurricane in the English Channel. A freighter aground on a reef hundreds of miles from land with a tropical storm approaching. A trawler battered by the surf on a coral reef, its bottom ripped out. A tanker hit by a missle during the Gulf War of the 1980's. In addition to the casualties, the tugs themselves play a major role in the story, as do the crews and captains with whom the author worked. This book is a tribute to the seamanship, courage and resourcefulness of those men. It is a gripping account of drama at sea, and also an exploration of the technical, commercial and human issues behind the headlines
