Seems like there’s a general trend to subordinate graceful lines and proportions in favor of practicality and increased revenue. Hard to argue with the trend, by the way, but f’r instance compare most cruise ships today and their tiers of “balcony” staterooms, with the WWII Era Queens, the Normandie, the United States and of course the France. With respect to tugs, I was a big fan of the Jacobsen built boats from the ’60s – thought they had nice lines and proportions and lots of power for the day.

Reinauer tugs are getting uglier and uglier, over time…old man Franklyn is rolling in his grave over what Christian is building. I remember when the Joanne got a upper house,he went ballistic cause it took away the tugs looks.
