Hey, I have a question. In the pic with the cruise ship and all the tug boats, What exactly are the tug boats doing? What are the water cannons for? I've been on a ship and seen this done to other cruise ships before but whats the reason?
hey Z --
the cannons are for the celebration of this ships first arrival to its new home in the USA --

the tugboats are available to guide ALL huge vessels --thru these ocean inlets and to their docks -
the captains of these monster boats --travel thru hundreds of tricky inlets and ports -
worldwide -
but none of them are officially licensed or prepared to navigate these landings
--without the
LOCAL UPDATED KNOWLEDGE from the tug captains --
the tides,the currents and the waves shift the oceans sand bottom every HOUR !!
so - only the locals are entrusted to handle that dangerous responsibility
