Look for his low-light images! (c) 2003 Don Sutherland Don Sutherland's site *************** Franz VonRiedel's book on the various vessels of the Great Lakes is fascinating. It has a wide variety of beautiful, well-reproduced photographs, each with a fascinating blurb about the vessel depicted, its type and personal history, written in an easy style but with detail that should please all readers, techies or otherwise. High marks to Franz! This link takes you straight to Amazon to buy the book, and I get a tiny cut but only from this single purchase. Buy my own books direct if you want to benefit me most!

It may be called a photo gallery, but it's well annotated. This is another Amazon link. *************** George Matteson's Tugboats of New York is the cream of the cream of tugboat books. A beautifully produced volume, it is filled with history and tug lore, both general and specific, and the vast numbers of photographs are well reproduced. This book belongs on the shelf of any tugnut. Same deal as above re: Amazon. *************** Dave Boone's maritime paintings are worth a look. His interests aren't limited to tugs, but extend to miliary and merchant vessels as well. He paints on commission and has both paintings, prints and greeting cards in stock to sell as well. *************** Click to join Tugboats The Yahoo! tugboat group is an active bunch of interesting people.
