I agree with all the sentiments expressed, & add: the angle, the variety & depth of colours, plus the overall ambience makes this an image I would be pleased to 'hang on my wall'. Excellent, Foggy.
Regards, Rick

Must agree with Capt.Ted ...A beauty....And I love the obvious passion expressed by others here..for this fallen tug boat....
"A passion shared is a rare & wonderful gift between men."

Ex US Army World War 2 standard tug, perhaps designed: LT. Seaspan, Vancouver, used to own one similar. The bridge wings are unmistakeable.
