Hehe...yes, at times it seemed like it.
As the Raroa has no propulsion engines, she has no prop to put into reverse...therefore no brakes! And it takes just as much horsepower to stop a ship as it does to get it moving. That second tug took up the stern line out in the bay, and we watched it go very tight a few times before the Raroa was safely tied up alongside the wharf.

Hi there! New to the site, but love ships!

I can see there are both photos of fine ships, and fine photos of ships ... so this is for the first group - two shots from an Ixus 85 taken August last year ... mercy please !

This is a passenger ferry in the Med I took from a plane window - not sure what ship it is!
