This is the “Piero Neri”, the dancing tug of my “Lisbon Express” post, temporarily moored inside the “Porto Mediceo”.
You can easily see the massive bulk of the boat that usually looks deceptively tiny from afar, near even bigger ships.
In the last image the “Piero Neri” is escorting a ship, passing the lighthouse inside the “Curvilinea”. After seeing the “dancer”, I guess that a new dimension could be added to its numbers at sea...I would like to tank our friends Tash and Antjas for these posts:

If a tugboat could look good
The Piero Neri tug
Looks about as good as
It should.
Whatever. These things are quite massive in themselves, but you're right - when they're up against a large cruise ship they are literally dwarfed!
One more set of gorgeous boat photos!
And in that first shot she does indeed look like a very fetching dance partner.
I love these! In the top photo, the stacks look like dancing arms, very animated. And the size is quite something. The last photo is quite lyrical with the white stone lighthouse. So picturesque! Another great post all in all.
These pictures are great. I love boats and ships. I missed Lisbon Express so I'm glad that you posted the link.
I like tug boats, the real workers in any harbor.
Great Tugboat in the harbor photo and a blue sky!
First impression does make it look tiny. Thanks to your shots from various angles, I realized it's a HUGE vessel! Nice shots!
I have an invitation for you to join the World Photo Bloggers
Another beautiful series of shots !! Great..
It looks a lot bigger up close.
She looks fanatastic against the light house!
I'm looking at the tiny people on the road and the lighthouse and wow, she definitely is not tiny. Deceptive against those huge, huge ships she tows!
REally good photos and tugboats are so interestng. I'm almost tempted to recite the "Miss Susie Had A Tugboat" poem.
Btw, the answer as to why the Mercer building has a square - in the original design, a neon light jutting out and reading "Mercer" was to have been suspended in the square. For some reason this didn't happen, and so the square remains as is.

She must be a hard working vessel, and it is Livorno.
Thank you for stopping by my mom's blog. You translation is 100% correct. She really enjoys blogging and sharing views from Bulgaria and neighborhood.
I don't make a difference between all the ships, but I can tell that your pictures are masterful - crystal clear blue and sharpness in harmony.
Lovely photos! I didn't realise tugboats were so big! It looks especially grand against the blue sky :)
Girano un sacco e mezzo di rimorchiatori per i blog ma quelli di Livorno, ah!
:-)
I'll go dance with you anytime, sweetheart of a tug (sorry, I can't help it, that's what tugs do to me!)
Tugboats do look much smaller than they actually are. There's a kids' book most Canadians have read to them when very young that supports this idea.
Very neat to see it close up!
Everything goes very well, and that blue sky is awesome!
But I'm in love for that lighthouse!

I have to say, that since I started using the camera around the harbor I have seen so many new boat-types..... The last of your photos is my favorite. Very nice composition!:-)
You get such wonderful close-up photos of these marine work horses. Thank you too for mentioning us.
You have been an inspiration VP! And it was great that Tash was able to tie us together.
