>>>Tugs on the other hand, were harbor craft designed to ferry in larger
ships into their berths by pushing or pulling them. They rarely went out
into open ocean, except to meet a cruise liner outside the breakwater and
pull it in. They were never designed for passages or long stretches at
sea.<<<
That depends on the tug. I've seen plenty of big sea-going tugs operating
in the North Sea (not exactly a mill-pond). Not mind you that the
seaworthiness or otherwise of commercial tugs has much to do with that of
Nordic Tug yachts. I've never seen a real tug plane.
