At Lake Union Drydock, new steel will be installed in the ferry Sealth’s car decks, and nonskid paint applied to the passenger decks, as well as new windows in the crew quarters and new fire-sprinkler piping.
We went to check out Tugboat Sally, owned by Michael and Kelley, who bought the craft in 2012 and completely renovated the inside. Tugboat Sally was built in 1927, and is now a unique listing on Airbnb that has an extensive history and charming atmosphere.
The Sally S tugboat on Salmon Bay gives a taste of salty maritime traditions. Or sleep in a treehouse, or a caboose...

On a modern ocean going tug like the Crowley Invader class, what you see above the surface may look low and sleek: This is in fact a very large and powerful tug capable of extended operation in open ocean under the most adverse sea conditions. The machinery on the Invader class is two twenty cylinder EMD 645 engines rated at 7000 horsepower total. In order to allow for extended operation, the 136 foot long tug is capable of carrying 155,000 gallons of #2 diesel fuel. The loaded draft is 20 feet, quite deep for a tug, and there is a tremendous hull area below the water surface that is not evident when viewing the vessel. Tugs are "displacement" hull vessels; the hull is designed so water flows around it, there is no consideration for having the vessel "plane". Because of this the hull form is limited to a maximum speed when running "free" that is about 1.5 times the square root of the waterline length. As the tug approaches this speed when running "free" it is perched between the bow wave and the stern wave. Since the hull cannot plane, application of additional power when approaching maximum hull speed only results in a larger bow wave, with the tug "squatting" further into the trough... ...and that, my friends is a beautiful thing! Except for the last sentence, thanks to tugboat enthusiast for the information. .
