. A description and notation from the Tacoma Public Library that this is the second Captain Bob, the first having come to a bad end
. A photo upriver from Portland
. An interesting paragraph in a State of Washington document about towboat mishaps and spilled wheat; I also learned that Captain Bob will sometimes push five barges at a time (maybe upriver, but never here near the mouth) (Search the page for "Captain Bob" or scroll to page 15, line 21.)

Beautiful,lovely and fantastic shot !! Simply fantastic !!
Er... towboat // tug? I don't think I've ever seen one looking like that.
As for Shropshire: lovely English county! ;-)
Fun name for a towboat...or any kind of boat. And confusing, too. I wonder if the captain has to be named "Bob"?
I guess they'll never allow a Robert to become Captain of the Captain Bob. Strange towboat and very, very interesting links!
