John is my brother, he stayed on tugs and I went deep sea for 40 years. I was Captain on big tankers and Columbia River Bar Pilot, as well as a Prince William Sound pilot, our dad said "go to sea", he was a career army officer and frustrated sailor, so both his boys went to sea.

It would be a pleasure to be taught by Capt John Worth. What a natural talent on camera and obviously as a master mariner. Thank you.

Thank you!

John is a fantastic on camera talent which is so rare. He’s excellent at explaining his craft.

Wow. That was an amazing video. I have seen plenty of ships and tugs at the Long Beach and Los Angeles harbors but to be on board a working tug with someone like Captain John who is able to explain everything is truly a treat. I don't know when I've enjoyed a video more.

Outstanding. I've been to Belfast a couple times and always wondered. Now I know! What a wonderful speaker and educator. I'd love to listen to sea stories from this man!

Growing up on the Florida intracoastal , no AC windows down, some pulled some pushed it was cool to watch the Skipper swinging that huge wheel,walk out of wheelhouse in all kinds of weather, and compute wind drift, current,tide and adjust barge attitude and navigate the very narrow bridge that was placed in the middle of a dogleg channel without touching it, One engine one screw ,no GPS or radar Amazing 😍

Thank you Capital I live at Sarnia Ontario Canada. They have a grid system/ operate on the St Clair River. Also with camera and chat so we the public have an opportunity to observe the traffic all over the great lakes. I live 15 miles from this world and had know idea. But the apps on my phone and tablet has given me a new world to look at. Lol thank you again for sharing.

What really nice guy, a real seaman. My Dad was the same in so much as a desk job was not for him. He went to sea at 14 in 1926 and served in the Royal Norwegian Navy as Chief petty officer, on subs, convoys to Canada etc. When I was born he worked for Mersey Docks and Harbour Board in the Floating plant dept., ie he worked on dredgers floating cranes etc. Great vid, thanks.
