00:00Oh my oh my oh my!
00:28Oh hello!
00:29Hello, there certainly are an awful lot of ships coming to the big harbour this morning.
00:32You know, even though it's winter and I can't always see out my frosty window, my special
00:37radio here, that's my eye on the harbour.
00:41Roger, ah, you know, I can hear all the ships coming in over this radio.
00:46They call me just before they arrive, so I can tell the dispatcher to send the pilot
00:49boats and the tugs out to meet them.
00:51It's like a big team, everybody working together, and no one part of the team is any more important
00:55than the others.
00:58I've got my radio here now, what would happen if one part thought that it was more important
01:02than the rest?
01:03What do you think?
01:04You'd have a disaster!
01:06You know, the tugboats almost hit a disaster not too long ago.
01:09They had a very big job to do all by themselves, and they forgot about teamwork.
01:13Oh, what an incredible adventure that was.
01:16And you know, it happened on a winter's morning, just as fair and as frosty as this one.
01:25The first fingers of sunlight fell upon the sleeping tugs, and tickled them awake.
01:31They opened their eyes, and saw a most surprising sight.
01:38What is it? said Hank finally.
01:44It's ice! said Foduck, who couldn't believe his eyes either.
01:50Overnight, big chunks of ice from the cold North Seas had drifted into the big harbor.
01:57Pushed by the strong winter wind.
01:59Everything looked so different.
02:01Looks like the moon, whispered George.
02:04Or a valley of jewels, breathed Emily.
02:07The dispatcher was just as surprised as the tugs.
02:11The last time there'd been ice in the big harbor was over a hundred years ago.
02:15It was the first time in a long time.
02:18It was the first time in a long time.
02:22The last time there'd been ice in the big harbor was over a hundred years ago.
02:26But the biggest surprise was still to come.
02:29Tugboats, announced the dispatcher in his most serious voice.
02:32As you know, it is our solemn and ancient pledge to keep the big harbor open.
02:36Through wind, or rain, or snow, or ice.
02:43But today the pilot boats cannot go out into the ice.
02:45Now their hulls are too thin, so the harbor might have to be closed.
02:50The tugboats knew that would be dangerous for the ships out on the freezing ocean.
02:53Who wouldn't be able to come into a safe form dock.
02:56Well, I decided that the tugboats must take charge.
03:00Their hulls were strong and stout, and their hearts were brave.
03:04It was the dispatcher's job to give them the news.
03:07Tugboats, he announced.
03:09Today, the pride of the big harbor depends on you.
03:15The dispatcher read off the day's work to be done,
03:17and the tugs listened quietly.
03:19But mostly they were thinking about pledges, and pride,
03:23and other important sounding words.
03:25When the dispatcher had finished,
03:27the tugs turned and floated silently out into the harbor.
03:32Hooray, shouted Theodore.
03:35We're in charge, said George.
03:38No pilots, tuned Fodor.
03:44The tugboats set to work.
03:46Emily and George went to move Bobby Barge.
03:48I should be in front, said Emily,
03:50because I can steer better around the ice.
03:52Well, said George, as if he were really thinking about Emily's idea.
03:57Then he said, no, I think I'd better be in charge of steering.
04:04Well, George went crashing right through the ice.
04:16Fodor brought Bonavista Barge to the salvage yards with a load of scrap metal.
04:20Oh, it was tough tugging.
04:22Sometimes the ice came all the way up to Bonavista's bumpers.
04:29The ice was so thick that Philip and Fillmore, the ferry twins,
04:32couldn't get across the harbor.
04:35So Theodore and Hank were sent to pull them.
04:42By the time they had made their final trip with the ferries,
04:44it was almost night time,
04:46and the two tugs realized they hadn't explored the ice at all.
04:50The ice seemed to be winking all around them in the winter twilight.
04:54Let's go out again, Theodore, said Hank.
04:56Do you think we're allowed, wondered Theodore.
04:58We're in charge, said Hank.
05:00Okay, shouted the tugs feeling the tickly ice under their hulls.
05:05Meanwhile, the other tugboats were just finishing their work for the day.
05:09They had taken charge and kept the harbor open.
05:13They were very tired and looking forward to their nice warm dock.
05:17But little did they know that the biggest adventure of all was just about to begin.
05:21I know you are tired, announced the dispatcher,
05:24but a big oil tanker named Olympia has just arrived
05:27and we must get her into the harbor tonight.
05:29Do you think we can do it?
05:31Sure, said George. You can count on us, Mr. Dispatcher.
05:35But, said Emily, where are Theodore and Hank?
05:41The tugs couldn't wait for Theodore and Hank.
05:43Off they went to meet the oil tanker.
05:45The great ship was really a sight to see,
05:47floating there in the middle of all that ice.
05:53The tugs buttoned onto the tanker and began bringing her into the harbor.
05:58The tugs buttoned onto the tanker and began bringing her into the harbor.
06:01Bound for the docks at the oil refinery on the shore of the harbor.
06:04George went crashing through the ice again.
06:06His big twin engines went vroom, vroom, vroom.
06:09It was just about then that Fodak's radio crackled out a warning from the dispatcher.
06:14A giant icebreaker named Inverness was arriving in the harbor to clear ice.
06:18All the ships and boats were to return to their docks as soon as possible.
06:22We'd better hurry, called Emily.
06:25Fodak decided he'd better take charge and direct the tanker into port.
06:28I'm in charge, snorted George.
06:31But Fodak, who had always wanted to be a pilot boat,
06:34gave directions to George in a commanding voice just like Pearl.
06:37Come over here now, George. Pull ahead.
06:41George tried to turn, but with all the thick ice around him, he couldn't.
06:45So he plowed on ahead, right into the middle of a heavy ice flow.
06:50It's a good thing I'm up front, he thought, and vroomed his engines even more.
06:55Our friends Theodore and Hank were busy in the ice too.
06:58Theodore was pretending he was an icebreaker ship.
07:00He went plowing through the thick ice, breaking it with the weight of his hull.
07:04Hank was pushing the ice, pretending the piles were giant ships he was moving around the harbor.
07:09Look at me, he shouted, feeling very strong and powerful.
07:12Meanwhile, George was still vrooming away.
07:15The ice seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and he was feeling very hot, as if he had a fever.
07:21Hmm, said Emily to herself. Those clouds are very low.
07:27And then, she saw the clouds were really smoke pouring from George's engines.
07:32George, turn off your engines, she shouted.
07:35George turned off his engines.
07:37George had to stop pulling right away, or else his engines might have been seriously damaged.
07:41He slowed down, almost to a stop.
07:44And that was a good thing, because Theodore and Hank were so busy moving ice around,
07:49they had not been paying attention to where they were going.
07:52They were heading straight for the ship.
07:54Theodore and Hank were very surprised to see the other tugs.
07:57Well, what are you doing here?
07:59I'm here to help you.
08:01Working! And you should have been helping us, said George.
08:04Well, you should have gone where I told you, said Foduck to George.
08:07Well, you should have let me be in front, said Emily.
08:10The tugs all began to quarrel about who should have done what, and what should have been done when.
08:15And then, they heard a deep, deep horn.
08:20It was coming from far away.
08:22It was coming from far away.
08:24It was coming from far away.
08:26It was coming from far away.
08:29It was coming from far out on the ocean.
08:32But it made all the tugs shiver, because they knew what it meant.
08:36The giant icebreaker was coming, and they had to get out of her way.
08:39And they were still a long way from the dock at the oil refinery.
08:43It's all my fault, said George sadly.
08:46I wanted to be in charge, but I guess I didn't do what I was supposed to do.
08:50Me too, added Foduck.
08:52And me, said Theodore.
08:54And then Emily agreed.
08:56Oh, said Hank finally, and also me.
09:02Just then, they heard the icebreaker's horn again.
09:06And she sounded closer.
09:08The pilot boat should know what to do, said Hank in a very small voice.
09:12Hank's right, said Emily, thinking.
09:14Petra always says many tugs make light work.
09:17We should all work together.
09:19You're right, Emily, said Theodore.
09:21You're the best steerer, so you go in front.
09:24George should push, because he's the strongest,
09:26and Hank and I can help by pushing on the side.
09:30And so, the brave tugboats set out to move the great ship
09:34through the dark and icy harbor.
09:37There was Emily the vigorous, pulling in front,
09:40steering the tanker between the ice jams.
09:42And Theodore and Hank at the side,
09:44keeping her nice and steady as she went.
09:46And Valiant George, who pushed and pushed on with all his might.
09:50And Fodok the vigilant, leading the way,
09:52using his firefighting light to shine a safe path for his friends.
09:58Finally, the tugs saw the friendly lights of the big harbor just ahead.
10:02They were almost there.
10:07Soon, they reached the oil refinery.
10:10But docking that tanker proved to be the hardest job
10:13those tired tugs had ever faced.
10:16For the harder they pushed,
10:18the tighter the ice packed in between the tanker and the dock.
10:23Until they couldn't budger another inch, no matter how they tried.
10:28Then, they heard the icebreaker's whistle.
10:30It sounded like it was going to break.
10:32But it didn't.
10:34No one was thinking about pride or solemn pledges anymore.
10:38Instead, each tugboat was thinking they'd let the harbor down.
10:45All eyes turned to Theodore.
10:47If anyone could think of a plan, it was Theodore.
10:50Good old Theodore.
10:52The tugboat was ready to go.
10:54The icebreaker was ready to go.
10:56The icebreaker was ready to go.
10:58The icebreaker was ready to go.
11:00The icebreaker was ready to go.
11:02Good old Theodore.
11:04The tugs held their breath.
11:07Theodore cleared his throat and said,
11:09Hank and I were pushing ice around.
11:12Well, the tugs let out their breath in a long, slow, sad gasp
11:16like air leaking from a balloon.
11:18Theodore had just been daydreaming.
11:20It was certain now. All was lost.
11:25Wait, shouted Theodore.
11:27The tugs turned again to Theodore.
11:30If Hank and I were pushing the ice around the harbor,
11:33why couldn't we all push it away here?
11:36That way we could dock the tanker.
11:39Well, that's exactly what they did.
11:43Theodore and Hank cleared away the ice.
11:46George and Emily pushed and pushed.
11:48And Foduck stayed close by and directed everyone.
11:51With all the tugs working together,
11:53the oil tanker was safely in her dock
11:55just as the icebreaker sounded her warning to clear the harbor.
11:58They had done it.
11:59The tugs all tooted their horns with pride.
12:05And even though they were very, very tired,
12:07they were very, very excited
12:09and couldn't wait to tell all the other ships and boats in the harbor
12:12about their great adventure
12:13just as soon as they were back at their dock.
12:18Or maybe it might have to wait until the very next day.
12:24Well, everyone sure was proud of those tugboats.
12:27They worked together and they kept the harbor open.
12:29And the very next day, the pilot boats were able to go back to work.
12:32They sure were surprised by that big welcome back they got from the tugs.
