"Bound for Sea" DVD - How ships, barges & tugboats move goods through New York Harbor
$29.95
This dvd takes the viewer onboard the rarely seen, but exciting world of container ships, aircraft carriers, and tugboats as they transit New York Harbor. The equipment, skills, and personnel required to safely move a massive ship, in extremely tight waterways, is a fascinating story of international teamwork. From ship captains to harbor pilots, to tugboat captains, and deckhands, a symphony of precision must be played in easing massive ships in and out of their dockage. This film includes a rare glimpse into the U.S. Coast Guards Vessel Traffic center in New York Harbor. 30 minutes. 2009, PBS
