I'm amazed that anchor didn't go right through the tug.

those things are built pretty tough. With some of the bigger harbor tugs it might have just landed there on the foredeck

you gotta love tug boats.... toughest damn things on the water. Remember the video of the one going under the bridge a year or so ago. When I was with the navy, I was always impressed with those sea going tugs, unbelievable pulling power in those things.

I saw that video - cool as hell! I think it was a towboat on some swollen river somewhere and the bridge didn't open like it was supposed to. That was some mighty quick thinking on the part of the captain and crew. Did you see the photos of the big drydock incident?
