The tugboats, from six up in number, merely influence the ship until she gets steerageway, most of the energy coming from the ship's engines. |

If you don't have any steerageway, you're not going forward, you can't calibrate it. |

As a result, the vessel lost steerageway, deviated off course and struck 28 pleasure craft berthed in the adjacent marina before running aground. |

When both tug and tow were heading downstream the master used a minimum throttle in order to maintain bare steerageway as he followed the south bank of the river toward the south draw of the bridge. |
