I planned nearly every pushboat/towboat/tug around the 'Hidrovía Paraná waterways; of all countries; Since they are rebuilding these waterways and new ships. Bits of Amazones and Colombia follow aswell. Esp since many new ships got bought in Holland too. If some one has good sources on the Ex-Mississippi boats they use around (Paraguay etc etc), share to me by PM, it would be most welcome.

Thankyou all for the very nice kind of words! Many more tugs and towboats will follow. Time some something unusual and weird!

Argentian Reefer ''Yaguareté, build in 1959 in Deest, N. V. Scheepswerft Van der Verft. (Holland) Later sold to Paraguay and conversion to Pushboat, late 1970s, earlier 1980s. Still Afloat. May be inactive.
