Good history on Wikipedia. Just google Theodore Too Wiki. A replica. Single Cat 3406. Have seen him too over the years. He turns 20 next year. Seaworthy though. Has been to Tampa and back and still sailing.

Sorry, Kevin & Roger, I didn't mean to hijack the thread with Theodore. No, Theodore is not a working tug but obviously seaworthy since she has made the trip from Halifax to Ft. Lauderdale and back.

The Canadian Maritimes are spectacular and I highly recommend them for beautiful and interesting cruising, sightseeing, and fishing. Our northern neighbors are polite and helpful and appreciate us Americans as visitors. If you haven't been to Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, & Labrador, you're missing some very special islands. And it's just a hop and a skip from Maine.

As Judy says Eastern Canada is a beautiful place this is a picture from my balcony of a small fishing town just below Dartmouth Nova Scotia and also tug
Theodore Too is used for harbor tours

Beautiful shot - should be a jigsaw puzzle. Remember the movie "The Perfect Storm"? I believe the blue/green vessel docked starboard to is the same fishing boat class that was used in the movie.

Halifax harbour is going to be buzzing in a few months:

Halifax has been selected as the first-ever city in Canada to host a Sail Grand Prix. The inaugural ROCKWOOL Canada Sail Grand Prix will take place June 1-2, 2024.

Known as the most exciting racing on water, SailGP features the world’s best sailing athletes representing national teams from around the globe competing in high-speed, hydrofoiling F50s – capable of speeds of nearly 100 km/h – racing a stone's-throw away from the shoreline.

For the first time in the league’s history, Canadian fans will get to witness ten world-class teams competing on Halifax Harbor, between George’s Island and the MacDonald Bridge. Fans will get to cheer on the home team Canada, driven by Phil Robertson, as they go head to head with 9 other national teams including Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and the United States.

Thousands of spectators are expected to line the Halifax waterfront to watch the high-speed action which will see the teams engaged in a fierce two-day competition, racing close to the shore, all vying for the ultimate victory. A range of grandstand and premium ticket options – including a bring your own boat program for boat owners – will be available when sales open in early 2024.

The first ever ROCKWOOL Canada Sail Grand Prix is hosted by Sail Nova Scotia who led Halifax’s successful bid, as part of a process which secured interest from four other Canadian cities to host SailGP. The technical site for the ten high-performance teams will be located at King’s Wharf in Dartmouth, providing immediate access to the race course from ‘pit row’ for the athletes and shore crew.
