Step 36Tug Plugs into Barge

Tug Plugs into Barge
This barge has a big bay cut into its stern.
When it needs to move they drive a tugboat up into the hole and drive the barge around as if it's a ship.
Then the tugboat goes off to do other work while the barge is parked. No unnecessary mechanical stuff rusting away while the barge sits somewhere.

The name of the tug is "Gulf Reliance". Doesn't that say it all?
