A training manual for standard towing. A towboat deckhand's job is not as simple as just doing what you are told while waiting to be a captain. It is a trade of its own with its own responsibilities. You must learn, earn respect in and be able to teach this trade to others before thinking of becoming an officer in charge. Here in lies the purpose of this handbook. To begin to pass along some of the language, ways of work and expectations of a deckhand on a working tug.

What of those ghostly catacombs that lie dormant below city streets? Those subway tunnels, never finished, never filled with the screeches of trains and the busy commotion of commuters. Just there. Dead. You've heard of the subway's demise. The tunnels were too narrow. The city was too broke. A grand miscalculation. Well, most of what you've heard is, sorry to say, untrue. The popular story of the subway's demise is myth-laden and as incomplete as the original plan. The full story, long buried in mounds of public records dispersed in libraries, is now revealed. Local author Jacob R. Mecklenborg emerges from those dusty tomes with a fresh, thought-provoking, full examination of the subway's demise and what its future might hold.
