Dont confuse me Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I always thought the captain had to shout, "women and children first" and usher them into life boats and he would go down with the ship? Sorry my mistake he's gone down on the woman first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen65 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 " got caught in flood waters and overturned " !!!! the mind boggles ??? Tugs, boats, ships are all supposed to float with positive stability under normal circumstances and have proven stability data !! Seems like these tugs have non of the aforementioned and were probably constructed in some ones backyard !! I don't see any Classification marks on these tugs/river boats thus no set standards . Lack of standards, training and seamanship - what does one expect ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
