No. You can't get to it past the scooting boots. It's always been a mystery how they get horses to wear them.

The Seamans Union is VERY militant and will have you in the PC court if you call such a vessel a "tug".

Half of the Line Boats I've driven have been Tug Boats that make better line boats than a lot of the silly launches, converted pilot boats crew boats. The bulwarks, bollards, and towing hooks make the job so Much easier and safer.
