01x09 - Ghosts

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

the tugboat for its size is the most

powerful craft to

flat and the star tugs are the power

behind the docks and waterways that make

up the big city

[Music]

Port this is Tugs

[Music]

the big city Port was in the grips of

winter it had come earlier than expected

and with it came the fog none of us like

fog but in those days it was worse tugs

had no radio and no radar long periods

of fog had a way of conjuring up old Sea

Stories and superstitions among the

boats of the

harbor I remember Big Mac returned quite

late he'd been working all day with

scuttlebut Pete who' been telling him

old SE stories of strange things that

happened when fog was

around as he passed teric buildings they

seem to take on ghostly

shapes they groaned and creeped as if

they were alive as Big Mac came close to

an old Warehouse he heard a whisper

which grew

[Music]

louder hello hello who

I'm getting move fast fog or no

[Music]

fog oh tugs thank goodness but who's

that who's out there don't can't hear

their engines that's

funny the ghost Fleet that Scuttle be

talk about

ghost it was too much for Big Mac

forgetting safe he charged into the fog

and made his way through the dark shapes

of Mor boats and trampers trying to make

sure the ghost tugs weren't following

him he was soon back at the

stardock no Dar you know better than to

travel in fog at dead rate of knots you

all right you look as if you've seen a

ghost I well I saw something I no I

can't tell you you'll only Li

what oh look come on we wer with

Sirus well I have seen ghosts what you

say what ghosts you know Scuttle bu

story about those th*gs that sank in the

great storm of

19 and I've come back to get you oh Big

Mac you're not taking scuttlebut stories

for real are

you well I'm not going out there again

till the fog lifts well I never thought

I'd hear that from a harbor tug well he

he could have seen something there could

be ghosts you never

know yeah have been ridiculous really

early the next day the star Fleet all

had their orders as they moved out they

were giving big mag a hard time about

his ghosts you I shouldn't have told him

I just knew it you'll mind them the fog

plays funny tricks on us nothing really

to worry about long as you mind what

you're doing keep your wits about you

but ghosts Big

M I could have been seeing things seemed

real enough mind at the time that

evening Warrior was making his way back

to Port some shrimpers were following

using him as a guide through the

fog hey Warrior you sure you know your

way of course I do do you trust me or

don't you a bit of fog's nothing to

worry about I've got a natural sent of

direction if if we were running into

anything I'd

know cool where' it come from it was

lucky better head out a bit Warrior

swerved violently just in time to miss

the mudbang but the shrimpers were not

so

lucky

Warrior when you can't see what the

CES who are they I don't believe yes I

do it is it's one big maaw the ghost

Fleet it's a ghost

[Music]

failed all day to get a cheat toe into

Port so he decided to try and sneak in

for free with the help of the Fog

myself we've all seen them 10 cents and

sunshine is in a gallion too but these

were ghosts I assure you I saw them

really silent Phantoms of the sea so you

admit ghosts exist now Top Hat ghosts

MERS ghostly white tugs yeah white tugs

and a big gallion and Neptune I think

I saw them too you're all going crazy

seeing things that aren't

there I'm not sure I don't know what I

saw

now well I'll tell you they're the White

Fleet down here from Northern waters on

the trail of an iceberg these tugs sail

at times with engines off listening for

cracking ice there was a wooden gallion

Frozen in this Iceberg which must have

melted in our warmer water that's why

you saw the old vessel Bob up to the

surface I doubt you saw Neptune Sunshine

he's for fairy tales you've let the fog

get to you

MERS Hercules behind you that's your

ghostly gallion they watched with

embarrassment as Burk and Blair towed

away the rotting

gallion later on Star tugs found they

could laugh about it but they never

forgot the fog that nearly sent them CR
