Description
Ocean going ships are too big and cumbersome to maneuver to their berths on their own so they require the assistance of tugboats.
In ths picture, the tugboats Walter Ross and Security are guiding the Dale Pioneer into its berth at the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad pier to take on a shipment of potatoes.
