Technically, the little vessel isn't a tug, it's a sea mule which is a pusher boat. They are tough little boogers and are little more than a steel box with a motor. I just can't imagine being below in the engine room when that anchor hit, it must have been like hell's bells.

Wow!  Tugboats are really tough!  That would have crushed or broken off the front of most smaller craft.
