TUGGING THROUGH TIME:
THE HISTORY OF NEW YORK HARBOR TUGBOATS
The story of New York Harbor tugboats, from the first steam ferries, to today's state of the art Z Drive tractor tugs, is filled with determination, drive, and courage. It is the story of how technology and hard work gave European immigrants a foothold on the American Dream.
"Tugging Through Time" combines rare footage of early steam tugs, onboard footage of today's modern tugs at work, interviews with tugboat company presidents, and an original music soundtrack. In a most dramatic fashion, the film shows the heroic roles tugboats have played in New York Harbor, including the evacuation of thousands during 9/11.
