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 creates prints that are often indistinguishable from the original artwork. Since they aren’t covered by glass, these prints offer vibrant, rich colors that can be enjoyed from any angle. The award-winning LYVE canvas features breathable, OBA-free, truly archival material, carefully finished with a satin coating. Certified by the Fine Art Trade Guild for over 100 years of archival quality, these prints come ready to hang with a sleek black side treatment. The stretcher bars are crafted from Paulownia wood—a strong, lightweight hardwood that is easy to work with, highly resistant to warping, decay, insects, and mold, and grows rapidly. Canvas prints make an excellent choice for wall art, as they offer a polished, tailored look without the need for 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.
