10/11 TUGBOAT http://koti.mbnet.fi/~soldier/towboat.htm \_ Pretty amazing, but FYI, most boats of that size have been designed to do this since at least the early 20th century. My dad's 38 foot salmon trawler (built early '30s) flipped completely over in high seas several times and managed to right itself. The tugboat was very lucky that the river level was high enough that it didn't collide with the bottom. --lye |
