Theodore TOO’s official Facebook page lightened the somber moment with an upbeat message from the tug himself: “Ahoy friends! I had a mishap but am resting safely in the mud. My team is working hard to make me ship-shape in time for the holidays.”
Launched in 2000 from Snyder’s Shipyard in Dayspring, Nova Scotia, Theodore spent years inspiring young Canadians about maritime safety and environmental stewardship from his home in Halifax’s Big Harbour.
In 2021, the tug began a new chapter, becoming an ambassador for Canada’s marine industry. His mission includes raising awareness about inclusive career opportunities in the maritime sector and promoting the protection of waterways. Theodore is also a proud partner of Swim Drink Fish and an official guide for the Great Lakes.
