Tug Art Work

The sight of eight Lord Nelson Victory Tugs gathered at the 2014 Rendezvous in Olympia, Washington sure got a lot of attention.  Those tugs were captured in a drawing by Jeff Orlando which appeared in the Fall Tuggers issue, number 65.

Many owners contacted Bicki Howell (Editor, LNVT Association) about the art work with questions about the artist and wondered how they could get a copy of it.  She contacted Jeff and learned he was born in Buffalo, New York and had fond memories of the Erie Canal as a child.  He always thought it would be fun to cruise through there as well as to complete the Great Loop.  Jeff said, "I love to draw boats with character and all the tugs there at the Olympia Yacht Club docks were a natural."   Jeff graciously offered that our owners and members were welcome to use or share the image (shown on right) without restriction.  You can download it at the following link: https://goo.gl/Peoi0q 

If you have any specific questions about his work, you can contact Jeff at:  jeff.orlando@gmail.com
