1. towboat

   A towboat, also known as a tugboat, is a type of vessel that is designed to maneuver other vessels by towing or pushing them. These boats are typically used to guide vessels that cannot navigate through narrow waterways themselves such as barges, disabled ships, or oil platforms. They're equipped with powerful engines and strong build to endure heavy loads and difficult weather conditions.

1. Towboat

   A towboat is a boat designed for pushing barges or car floats. Towboats are characterized by a square bow with steel knees for pushing and powerful engines. They are most often seen on inland waterways and western rivers where they can push more than 50 large barges lashed together into a tow of varying shapes and sizes. Towboats that travel long distances include living quarters for the crew. Outside of the USA towboats are usually referred to as "push boats" or "pushers".
