This photo was just too colorful to ignore! The poster notes that “the Ruth M. Reinauer was built for Reinauer Transportation Companies LLC, which purchased Senesco Marine in North Kingston, R.I., in 2006. Senesco also built the barge.” However, such explanatory notes are missing for many intriguing working boat photos here.

Finally, related to today’s theme, a beautiful new coffee table book might be a great gift for your resident tugboat fan! "Tugs" by Josh Leventhal Tugs: The World’s Hardest Working Boats holds lots of pictures and a modest amount of description and can be found at Amazon for prices from $19 to $25.
