Same forest - different trees

A photo published in Shipfax on Sunday April 27 showed "a forest" of five Atlantic Towing Ltd tugs tied up at the IEL pier in Dartmouth. Today there was still a forest, but some different trees.

From left to right: Atlantic Oak, Atlantic Teak in behind Atlantic Willow, Atlantic Fir and Atlantic Hemlock across the end of the pier.

Atlantic Fir is filling in for Atlantic Larch which is in Shelburne for refit. Atlantic Hemlock and Atlantic Teak are just visiting.

Down in the lower left hand corner of the photo is Waterworks Construction's workboat/tug Walrus, hauled out for the winter. It is a speedy aluminum hulled twin-screw craft, built as a survey launch.
