Hustler II, I have noticed quite often tugs are loaned to other companies and when this happens a lot of times they will be painted in the new companies colors. As seen here in Dodd Narrows I believe, Hustler II is actually owned by Seaspan but was loaned to Jones Tug in October 2016. As it had been mothballed by Seaspan for some time, they spent the first few months getting it seaworthy.  It was first put to work in January 2017 and was used as an outside boat with live-aboard crew to tow logs to/from distant locations (essentially replacing the Race Point I which had since been sold). In the last couple of years, they had fewer long distance hauls so it operated more frequently as a shift boat towing log booms across Georgia Strait until it was returned to Seaspan in May of 2022. She is now back to her Seaspan colors.

These fine art prints are the perfect alternative to an original. Printed right here on Vancouver Island, these prints have the look and feel of something I have painted myself.

Canvas Print

The natural texture of the canvas produces prints that are often hard to tell from the art original, and because they are not behind glass, offer stunning, rich-colour views from any angle. Award-winning breathing Color LYVE canvas, OBA free, truly archival, & carefully coated with satin coating, which are certified 100+ year archival by the Fine Art Trade Guild. Ready to hang with black side treatment. The stretcher bars are responsibly sourced from sustainable paulownia wood. This lightweight wood is sturdy, durable, and resistant to environmental changes. Canvas prints are a wonderful wall art option because they can look beautifully tailored without an external frame.

Fine Art Paper

“Elegance Velvet” paper is a cold press paper, featuring a subtle texture similar to that of cold pressed watercolor paper. It weighs 300 gsm, giving it a substantial, heavy feel. Made from 100% cotton rag, it is naturally acid-free and archival, making it a standard choice for professional Fine Art reproduction prints. Its longevity is rated for over 100 years. As with most modern prints and papers, when properly stored and framed, they typically exceed the official 100-year rating for fade resistance and durability.
