Tugs

(W) Built During WWII

Canadian shipyards lead the world in tug construction, building thousands of them for coastal service, especially in the lumber industry. As with minesweepers, most of which doubled as trawlers, the tugs built for the Canadian Navy during WWII were designed for post-war commercial use.
