EXPLORE THE ATLANTIC TUGBOAT TO ASSEMBLE YOUR MODEL

Delve into the details of the Atlantic, a model of a tugboat crafted from wood and plastic. This intricately designed model faithfully replicates the tugboats that navigated the seas during the 70s and 80s of the 20th century.

Originally an offshore tug, the Atlantic was not confined to port work. Instead, it was specifically engineered to endure the harshest weather conditions. Its robust structure was meticulously designed to ensure stability on the water, making it highly manageable. The primary objective was to enable the towing of large vessels, such as oil tankers and cruisers, in open waters.

Tugboats, as a class of vessels, emerged in the nineteenth century as a response to the evolving landscape of navigation, marked by the revolutionary shift to mechanical propulsion. This transformation led to an increase in the size and displacement of ships, resulting in challenges in maneuvering within docks and ports.
