Tugs ATLANTIC & PACIFIC

[Dеnis]

Some long time ago I watched on tv a documentary about German tugs & there was featured an old video of 2 beautiful ocean tugs named ATLANTIC & PACIFIC towing some old passenger liner.  I searched & found that liner was Hanseatic towed from New York to Germany after she had fire in engine room in 1966.  Though not much infos about those tugs. I saw photos of same named tugs on her & other places but they don't look like those in the video + are of later built. 

Kind regards,
Denis

There are photos of the Bugsier tugs Atalantic and Pacific in the Photo section, how do they compare with the tugs in the video?

Ron, found nothing close, sorry.

Denis, there are some tugs with the same name. Atlantic IMO 7360679 was built in 1975, therefore it's impossible for her towing the Hanseatic in 1966. I think, you will be succesfull to find her taking the site of the Hamburg based Bugsier Company. Good luck.
