Tug Brandywine
I've been working on and building tugboats for a long time. My perspective for this launch was on the Matinette side of the river...and it was very cool from over here. It's a very tricky launch from this height. My wife Rose, actually got to "launch" the tug for our company in Baltimore.

Almost tips over???
Haven't you ever watched a launch before? There was nothing unusual in that.

- Yes he has
  In fact, the same user submitted another ship-launching video.
  I think he's just pointing out that it "almost tips over" to give it an interesting title.

- Looks?
  Yes HanDuet you are correct. The ship looks like it almost tips over so I put it in the title, simple as that. I just thought it was a cool vid so I shared it with everyone.

- Yup cool video......
  Ive been building ships for 25 years, we side launch as well, Tankers, Navy ships.. you name it... BUT the very cool part is.. the "line handlers" on larger ships roughy a dozen men are on the ships so that immediately after launch they ban tie up to tug boats.... the larger ships lean the same and you think it looks bad here.... stand on one and watch the horizon and land disappear, your staring at clouds feeling your body press hard against the bulkhead wondering if this might just be the one that goes lol
