The Workhorses

Ships come in-and-out of Portland Harbor daily carrying precious, and sometimes even hazardous, cargo. This is the story of one ship's passage through the port and the tugboats, and crew, who make that trip possible. Wharfside: Stories of Portland Harbor's Working Waterfront explore the people, places, and work in Portland Harbor through photos, audio stories, and video. This project is made possible by the Waterfront Alliance and Casco Bay Estuary Partnership. Photos for this story by Jenny Rebecca Nelson. Music for this piece provided by Ross Gallagher.
