Rub a Dub Dub



Rub a dub dub,

Three men in a tub,

And who do you think they be?

The butcher, the baker,

The candlestick maker.

Turn them out, knaves all three.

The three man crew of Waterworks I towed a small float across the harbour today. I don't mean to suggest that they are knaves, nor any of the other three occupations listed above. They are more likely preparing to work on the damaged piles under the Svitzer tug dock.

Smallest Tug - candidate #2




Not to be outdone, Waterworks Construction operates "Waterworks 1" the unofficial name of this provincially registered craft. It is under ten gross tons, so does not require federal registration. At 6.58 gross tons it still packs 220 horsepower into its GRP hull.

And yes it certainly has a towing bit, and can often be seen handling scows and barges larger than this A-frame unit.

Waterworks is cutting out and replacing damaged timber under the Svitzer Canada pier office.
