This original story was first seen at bellsouth.net and you can also check the towboat history page for more info.

This brought so much traffic to the site that it swamped the servers hosting the page and Tugboat pictures. This is not really surprising consider the 19 Tugboat pictures come to a staggering 1.69 Mb that is downloaded whenever the page is loaded.

I have taken the liberty to make a slide show of the event so as not to put such a heavey load on the web server. I have also reduced the picture file sizes, the smallest was 51kb and largest as 105kb, a so now they are more manageable on the server.
