Persons completing this jigsaw puzzle will find red triplet tugboats tied off at a dock on the Piscataqua River near Portsmouth New Hampshire. While viewers may at first think the triplets are identical, a closer inspection shows that each has her own identity. Notice the difference in shape of the cabin and windows. It is apparent that many barges as well as mighty ships have depended on these tugs for safe passage along the river and out to sea. Now the tugs are taking a much needed rest, but always alert and waiting for the next job. The bumpers and tires on these boats will keep the next ship safe as it makes its passage.
