Tugboats • Sea Rogue ( also known as "The Pirate") (voiced by
Sean Barrett,
Keiji Fujiwara in the Japanese dub,
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'' and John Reeves in the 2022 YouTube dub) made his sole appearance in the episode of the same name, where he was technically the main character. In said episode, he stole barges for two mysterious green-eyed tugs, who had captured his uncle, and threatened to scuttle him unless Sea Rogue stole barges for them. The Green-Eyed Pirates were later caught out by Ten Cents, Sunshine, Grampus, and Sea Rogue himself, who devised a plan to capture the two fiends. Sea Rogue had been previously mistaken for the pirate himself, hence his nickname, and he later forgave the Star Tugs for ever thinking that about him. He then returned to a peaceful life with his uncle. Sea Rogue's appearance was quite intimidating, especially his eye patch, a typical pirate trademark. He was a blackish blue tug in color, and did not seem to work for any particular fleet; although the "Mi" symbol on his stack suggests that he works for the munitions company, as the same symbol is seen on the factory and warehouse doors. His model was later repainted to be used for Bluenose. Sea Rogue also appeared on the
TLC TV series, ''
Salty's Lighthouse'', except he became a villain who steals cargo (but only existed in Top Hat's dreams). • Bluenose (voiced by Mike O'Malley,
Rokuro Naya in the Japanese dub and
Scott McNeil in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is an obnoxious navy tug, whom both the Star Fleet and Z-Stacks despise. He plays precisely by the rules and acts as a kind of stereotypical army drill sergeant towards the other tugs. He is annoying, pompous, and self-centered, and despite appearing in only two episodes of the series ("Regatta" and "Munitions") he caused a major impact and is often referred to as a major character. He speaks with a regimented Army English accent. His major storyline was involved with blowing up the midget submarine Grampus in target practice, but Grampus was saved at the last minute and later became a member of the Star Fleet. After the episode "Munitions", Bluenose was left a nervous wreck, after a terrible night at the docks involving the death of the naval tramp steamer Kraka-Toa. He is later towed away by Grampus. He was not seen again after this as his model was repainted back into Sea Rogue. The term 'bluenose' was a nickname for people who came from the
Canadian province of
Nova Scotia - in the context of the show it may also have been a pun on the term 'Brown-nose', or suck-up - given Bluenose's orders-following mentality it can be said that he is a 'naval brown-nose', hence, possibly, 'Bluenose'. • The Fire Chief (voiced by
Sean Barrett and
Koji Ishii in the Japanese dub) made brief appearances in four episodes- "High Winds", "Quarantine", "Jinxed", and "Bigg Freeze", though he had no dialogue in "Jinxed". He is level-headed and down-to-earth. He is usually bright eyed, although his stubble makes him appear quite rough. He speaks with a Cockney accent. He is painted white and red. He is last seen confronting Zip and Zug for stealing a fire barge. Like Billy Shoepack, the Fire Tug could move his head and eyes rather than immobile features. • Boomer (voiced by
Lee Cornes, Taro Arakawa in the Japanese dub and
Scott McNeil in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is a tug that is found drifting by Ten Cents and Sunshine, where he revealed he was a jinx, which Ten Cents was very sceptical about. After many incidents, including almost sinking and his engine failing then catching fire, Ten Cents finally believed that he had a bad luck streak. After he was repaired at Lucky's Yard, Captain Star decided that Boomer was to become a houseboat, and he now resides at an upriver jetty called "Dun Tuggin" where he can relax all day, and the jinx has finally left him. Boomer was originally called Captain Harry, and he says that he became jinxed when his name was changed to Boomer. Boomer is the only tug apart from Sunshine, who was initiated at the end of the first episode, to become a Star Tug during the series, even if it was only for a very short period. He was also very briefly a Z-Stack when he helped Zip and Zug pull some munitions, but after the barge exploded Captain Zero got rid of him. Boomer's model as a tug is distinctly visible at the beginning of the episode "Up River", but he is never seen or mentioned again. Boomer spoke with an
Irish accent. His model was reused for Sea Rogue's Uncle. Boomer also appeared in ''
Salty's Lighthouse, experiencing two very different adventures. In one episode he failed towing the schooner (as in the original TUGS'') and became a 'vacation boat' in a story Ten Cents told to Zug. In the other one, he lost his 'bad luck' by successfully towing the schooner. Boomer's history reflects the naval superstition that changing the name of a ship invokes bad-luck. His name in naval and military slang is the nickname for submarines armed with ballistic missiles/nuclear ICBMs - though it is highly improbable that Boomer has any connection to nuclear weapons (having predated their invention by two decades) it can safely be said that he had a similarly intense impact on the tugs of Bigg City Port. • Billy Shoepack (voiced by
Lee Cornes, Masaaki Madono in "Trapped",
Rokuro Naya in "Up River" and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is an
alligator tug. He is mischievous, but ultimately a good character, saving the day in both of the two episodes he appeared in "Trapped" and "Up River". He carries supplies such as fuses and dynamite to the Upriver towns. Billy spoke with a strong
West Country accent. • Sea Rogue's Uncle (voiced by Mike O'Malley,
Masaaki Tsukada in the Japanese dub and Kyle Dennison in the 2022 YouTube dub) was never named, although he was referred to as "Old Man" by his nephew Sea Rogue. He was an elderly tug with a brownish color scheme. He was kidnapped by the "Green-Eyed" tugs, who held him as ransom in order to make his nephew steal barges, and was later rescued by Grampus. His model was reused from Boomer. • Burke (voiced by
Nigel Anthony and
Hideyuki Umezu in the Japanese dub) and Blair (voiced by
Sean Barrett and Mitsukai Madono in the Japanese dub and both voiced by
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse) were notorious scrap dealers, and scavengers. Burke was clean shaven, and Blair was the one who had a moustache. They were always seen together, and had small appearances in many episodes across the series. They try to convince Captain Star to sell O.J. for scrap. They pester him throughout the episode, and when O.J. is towed back to the pier by Ten Cents and Sunshine following yet another breakdown, it looks as though the writing is on the wall. But, on learning that O.J. saved Ten Cents from Quarantine, Captain Star decides to pay for a brand new engine. Burke and Blair were often seen in the background, most notably at the end of the episode "Ghosts". Their names come from the notorious Edinburgh corpse sellers Burke and Hare and they are sort of tugboat versions to their human counterparts, in that they deal in dead boats - not people. In Tugs
American counterpart, Salty's Lighthouse'', Burke and Blair were movie producers called Mr. Boffo and Mr. Socko. • The Pirates (both voiced by John Baddeley and Mike O'Malley,
Rokuro Naya in the Japanese dub, and Benjamin Kroger and Richard J. Browning in the 2022 YouTube dub) were a pair of villainous tugboats who slipped into Bigg City Port with the intention of stealing loaded barges that could be sold off illegally for trade. To increase their security, they used Sea Rogue as their decoy. To make sure that he performed their bidding, they took Sea Rogue's uncle hostage and threatened to sink him if he disobeyed them. With the unexpected help of Zip and Zug, the Star Fleet and Sea Rogue were able to capture the pirate tugs and hand them into the authorities. The pirate tugs were mysterious-looking vessels with black paint and a distinguishable pair of green-tinted spotlights to resemble Night-vision Goggles. They are known among fans as 'The Green-Eyed Things'. The pirate tugs are among the few speaking tugboats among the cast that do not have faces. Their models were later turned into Burke and Blair. • The White Fleet are four faceless white tugboats who came to Bigg City Port during the midst of winter. They are simply white boats- they are not given voices or faces. They came from 'northern waters' in search of an iceberg, and travelled about the harbour at night with engines 'off', listening for cracking ice. They were mistaken by the Star Fleet, Zorran, and Izzy Gomez for the phantoms of a tug fleet that sank in the great storm of 1912. After an eventful night, Hercules revealed the truth behind the White Fleet. Since then, the Star Tugs found they could laugh it off, but never forgot the night when fog nearly drove them crazy. • The Coast Guard (voiced by
Lee Cornes,
Sukekiyo Kameyama in the Japanese dub and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is a small vessel who acts as customs officer for the port. He often stands at the entrance to the estuary; ready to question and check incoming shipping before clearance. On other occasions, he stands by and over-looks large-scale operations, such as demolition and quarry work. He also doubled as a 'one-man' police-force. Despite his diminutive size, he has heavy influence and authority over the vessels of the port. He made brief appearances in several episodes. In every episode he appeared in he made an arrest- though he was unsuccessful in "High Winds". At the end of "Warrior" and "Quarantine" respectively, he arrested Izzy Gomez and Nantucket. Because of his small size, remote eye mechanisms could not be fitted into his model. He was one of the models passed on to
Thomas & Friends after the production of
Tugs shut down, he was seen in season 4, but it is unknown where his model is at the moment. In the Buzz Books, the Coast Guard was referred to as the Customs Launch. He spoke in a posh English accent. In ''
Salty's Lighthouse'', the Coast Guard was called Cappy. • Davy Jones (voiced by
Nigel Anthony, Mitsukai Madono in the Japanese dub and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is a small motorboat with a shrill whistle to inform the Star Fleet of Lillie Lightship's predicament; having been sent by the Coast Guard to deliver the message. The same small vessel doubled as the 'mad' speed boat that caused the accident in "Quarantine". He was in this form before "Regatta", as he appears in the liner scene of Warrior in "Sunshine". He is located beside the Fire Launch. In ''
Salty's Lighthouse'', he was mistakenly thought to be the same character as the Coast Guard and also became Cappy.
Ocean liners •
The Duchess appears in "Sunshine", the very first episode, making her the first ocean liner we encounter in the series. She only appeared in two scenes in the whole of that episode: first when the Star's were towing her in, and again in the nighttime firework celebrations following a successful journey. In appearance, she looked a lot like
Princess Alice - and it is possible she was the same model - only with modified funnels and ventilators. Her profile card in the
Tugs board game gave her nationality as British. •
Princess Alice was the most prominent of the three Liners - she appeared in three episodes ("High Winds", "High Tide", and "Regatta"), in "High Winds", she was in need of repair and the Stars (and Zebedee) all fought against the heavy winds to bring her safely into port. When she appeared in the 4th episode "Regatta", she was fully repaired - and was celebrating Independence Day heartily with the other vessels whilst being loaded by Big Mickey. In "High Tide", she only made a brief cameo. In spite of her name, the voiceover in Regatta is male and is voiced by Mike O'Malley. Her profile card in the
Tugs board game gives her nationality as American. • S.S.
Vienna appeared in the episode "Bigg Freeze", in which the Star Tugs and Z-Stacks alike were eagerly awaiting her return. In some videos she appears in the opening credits, and her model also made a brief appearance in "Sunshine". The model used for S.S.
Vienna was later reused for
Thomas & Friends, which can be seen at Brendam Docks. It is renamed S.S.
Roxstar in a Season 4 episode - "Henry & the Elephant". Vienna was given her name solely to create an excuse for the characters to say "
Goodnight, Vienna!" at the end of "Bigg Freeze" - in a further in-joke,
Goodnight Vienna was the fourth solo album of
Thomas narrator
Ringo Starr.
Tramp steamers • Johnny Cuba (voiced by Mike O'Malley, Taro Arakawa in the Japanese dub and
French Tickner in ''
Salty's Lighthouse) is a notorious, violent criminal tramp steamer. His strong accent and dialect indicate that he is from Australia, although in a Tugs''-themed card game it is said that he is from
Cuba. Like Sea Rogue and Boomer, his sole appearance was as a major character. Johnny had arrived at Bigg City Port to make plans with fellow gangsters during a period of strong and troublesome tempest weather. When he arrived, he met Zebedee and threatened him by manipulating him into helping him into the port. Johnny sent Zebedee on an errand to steal a barge of coal, and threatened to sink him if he landed either of them in trouble. Due to a feud between Johnny Cuba and Captain Zero that occurred in the past, Zebedee was placed in an awkward and dangerous situation, until Hercules discovered his hide-out in an abandoned dock. Zebedee plucked up the courage to trap Johnny and have him arrested, and was forgiven. Despite Johnny's claim that "they can't hold Johnny Cuba!", they did. Johnny Cuba only appeared in "High Winds", but his model made five more brief appearances in "Sunshine", "Quarantine", "Ghosts", "Munitions" and "Regatta". In "Regatta" it sank in Demder Rocks after colliding with Lillie Lightship. His superstructure and funnel were used for Old Rusty. Johnny Cuba made a second appearance in the annual story, "The Missing Barge", where he is still doing crime but no one wants to go near him. Johnny made a third appearance in the Buzz Book "Nothing to Declare", in which he helps the
Navy by trapping a
spy submarine and proves himself to have a good and patriotic streak. In ''
Salty's Lighthouse'', his name was changed to Steamer and was a friendly character instead of a villain. • Nantucket (vocal effects provided by Mike O'Malley and voiced by
Koji Ishii in the Japanese dub and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is a dirty old
tramper and a notorious villain, whom the Tugs call Dirt Bucket. He attempted to trick Sunshine into taking him into port by pulling down the yellow "waiting for clearance" flag. After his plan was foiled, he was sentenced by the Coast Guard to a further forty days in quarantine along with Zorran (who had fallen for the trick and pulled alongside him). He spoke with a
Lancastrian accent. Nantucket's hull was later used for Old Rusty. He also appeared as the tramper that Billy Shoepack blew up in "Trapped". In ''
Salty's Lighthouse'', Nantucket's name was changed to Tramper. He became a friendly character, and sometimes could not speak (in which case a foghorn sound effect was used instead). • Kraka-Toa is a non-speaking naval
tramp steamer that made her first appearance in "Ghosts" and her final appearance in "Munitions". Due to a fuel drum falling onto some explosives after Bluenose hit Zorran's barge, the dock caught fire; thus setting off the explosives and fuel loaded in her at the time. Since she was nearly full, the contents did indeed "rip her apart" as Zorran predicted, and she sank into the bay, but continued to appear in the background hinting she was recovered. She never spoke. She was named after the
Krakatoa volcano, which famously
erupted in 1883, causing much devastation. • Old Rusty (voiced by
David Mitton,
Koji Ishii in the Japanese dub and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is possibly a naval
tramp steamer, who made only one brief appearance, at the end of the episode "Warrior"; anchored out in the estuary. Warrior dozed off and bumped into him, telling him to look where he was going, but Old Rusty said that he had been anchored there for two years. He took it in good humour, and when old Warrior had gone, he remarked that life would be very boring without Warrior.
Dockside and floating cranes • Big Mickey (voiced by
Timothy Bateson,
Masaaki Tsukada in "High Tide" and Taro Arakawa in "Munitions") is described as 'the Port's biggest crane', based on a USN 20t tower crane. He was once stationed at the steelworks quay for loading and unloading operations when the Star and Zero fleets were competing for the
steel company contract. He was later transferred to the
naval dock for the loading of the naval tramper Kraka-Toa. He has two note-worthy appearances in "High Tide" and "Munitions". There is some debate as to the fate of Big Mickey. In the television release of "Munitions", it is stated that Big Mickey had fallen into shallow water and survived. However, this narration was deleted in the video release. According to the tugboats' reactions he perished to save them, although this may simply mean he took a big fall for them. The model used for the Big Mickey character was recycled to be used in
Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, originally starting off as a background prop, he later became a character on the show retaining the same name. He is one of the only two
Tugs characters (the other being the S.S.
Vienna) to survive the transition into CGI. In season 21, he was given a face and the ability to speak again. When he gained a face in
Thomas & Friends,
Rob Rackstraw took over as the English voice actor for Big Mickey. • Mighty Mo (voiced by Mike O'Malley and
Koji Ishii in the Japanese dub) is Bigg City Port's largest floating crane, well known for his booming voice. He is used for many salvage operations, in which he usually takes charge. He appeared in four episodes, most notably "Jinxed", in which his hawser jammed whilst lifting Boomer out of the water. He also appeared in the episodes "Warrior", "Quarantine" and "Regatta". • Little Ditcher (voiced by
Timothy Bateson,
Keiji Fujiwara in all of his appearances; excluding "Trapped" where he was voiced by
Koji Ishii in the Japanese dub and
Lenore Zann in ''
Salty's Lighthouse) is a small dirty A-frame crane, and is therefore, one of the smaller floating cranes to be found in the port. He is sometimes used dredging upriver at Mittsville or for oyster fishing in the estuary, as well as various other jobs. His size makes him unsuitable for rescue operations. He is good friends with the Star Tugs, and appeared for the first time in "Trapped". He also appeared in "Up River", where he helped divert the logjam away from Uptown, and briefly in "Warrior", where Warrior accidentally bumped into him and sent him spinning. He took it in good part, however, laughing along with Pearl and Sunshine. In Salty's Lighthouse'', he became a female (along with Captain Star and Sunshine) . • Scuttlebutt Pete (voiced by Mike O'Malley in all of his appearances; excluding "Pirate" where he was voiced by
Sean Barrett,
Hideyuki Umezu in the Japanese dub,
French Tickner in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'' and Benjamin Kroger in the 2022 YouTube dub) is a
dredger and a notorious gossip - hence his name. He believes in ghosts, and enjoys voicing superstitions and telling old
sea stories, particularly when the
fog comes around. Although he can be grumpy, he is a friend to the Star Tugs. However, dredger detail is an unpopular task with the tugs, and is often given out by the Captains as punishment. He speaks with an exaggerated Dublin accent. He appeared in four episodes- "Pirate", "Warrior", "Ghosts" and "High Winds". Though he never had much screen time, his appearances in "Ghosts" and "High Winds" serve as a catalyst to the episode's plot- the Tugs' fear of the strange white Tugs is sparked by an old sea yarn told by Scuttlebutt Pete. In "High Winds", Zebedee shows his good side when he helps Ten Cents and Sunshine to steady the crane during a storm. • Jack the Grappler (voiced by Mike O'Malley,
Hideyuki Umezu in the Japanese dub and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse) is a garbage scooper who works at the "Municipal Garbage Corporation" quay for garbage barges, particularly Lord Stinker. He assisted in the organisation of the Municipal Garbage Corporation float for the annual regatta. He first appears in "Regatta" (in which he briefly wore an Uncle Sam-style top hat). In the episode "Bigg Freeze", he had a cold (as he was shown with a red nose)- there was originally some dialogue in this segment, but it was cut. In the series, the narrator refers to him as "Jack the Grappler", possibly indicating a pun on Jack the Ripper (if only in name). He is the only crane with a face. In Salty's Lighthouse'', he became Scoop. • Snatcher was a cut "ghost" crane character that was eventually going to appear in a deleted scene in the episode "Ghosts". He was believed to be the ghost of Big Mickey, but, he was the only crane character that was supposed to have a face, a face that looked horrific and scary-ish and resembled the
Frankenstein monster's face. While O.J. is steaming through the crane inlet, he sees Snatcher and gets a spook, but then within a blink, O.J. finds that Snatcher's face his disappears. His face was displayed once at an event at Tugs: the Exhibition.
Barges • Lord Stinker (voiced by
Timothy Bateson, Taro Arakawa in all of his appearances; excluding "Warrior" where he was voiced by
Sukekiyo Kameyama and
Ian James Corlett in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is an aged garbage barge, widely known for carrying a heavy stench, and notably wears a peg on his nose to avoid his own strong odor. He works mostly with Warrior. He is also a quick thinker as he saved a train from disaster in "High Tide", which gained him a newfound respect from Top Hat. • Frank (voiced by Mike O'Malley and
Keiji Fujiwara in the Japanese dub) and Eddie (voiced by
Timothy Bateson, Taro Arakawa in "Munitions" and both voiced by
Ian James Corlett in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') are a pair of twin railway barges (also known as
Car floats) who work mostly with Top Hat. They are used for the transportation of railway stock across the port. They are very quick-witted and are among the few that can deal with Top Hat's superiority. Both of the twins speak with Cockney accents. They had supporting roles in "Munitions" and "High Tide". • Pearl (voiced by
JoAnne Good and Sakurako Kishiro in the Japanese dub) is an oyster barge, working with Sunshine and Little Ditcher. • Sugar Ray is a cut rainbow-colored barge that should have appeared in the original episode 2.
Other • The Fultan Ferry is a
paddle-driven ferry boat used for freighting vehicles and goods across the harbour. It appeared in various episodes, but was finally named in "Quarantine", when it was temporarily sunk in the middle of the port after hitting a fire barge towed by O.J. It was later salvaged by Mighty Mo. Although the Ferry never spoke in the original show, it was voiced by
Scott McNeil in ''
Salty's Lighthouse (despite not having a visible face or
megaphone). It also happened to be confirmed as a male, and even went under the name Fultan by Grampus. Since Tugs
ceased production, the Fultan Ferry has appeared briefly in Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends''. • The Shrimpers (both voiced by John Baddeley and Chris Tulloch and
Sukekiyo Kameyama,
Keiji Fujiwara and
Hideyuki Umezu in the Japanese dub) appear briefly in "Warrior and "Ghosts". They had a noteworthy role in "Ghosts", when a group of four or five were accidentally led into a mudbank whilst following Warrior back to port; using him as a guide through the fog. They have a minor role in "Warrior". Their models were passed on to
Thomas & Friends after the production of
TUGS shut down. They were seen in Season 4 around the Skarloey Railway and the docks. It is currently unknown where their models are at the moment. • O. Krappenschitt (voiced by
Timothy Bateson,
Masaaki Tsukada in the Japanese dub and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'') is the owner of the Municipal Garbage Corporation yard who organizes the 'Municipal Garbage Corporation' float for the annual regatta. He only appeared in a famous scene from "Regatta". Although he was never referred to by name, his office door revealed it to be O. Krappenschitt. • The Quarry Master (voiced by John Baddeley,
Masaaki Tsukada in the Japanese dub and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse) is owner of the rock quarry, who appears briefly in "Warrior". In Salty's Lighthouse'', the Quarry Master was given the name Stoney. • The Fuel Depot Owner (voiced by
Lee Cornes and
Rokuro Naya in the Japanese dub) is the owner of the Fuel Depot appears briefly in "Bigg Freeze", having to put up with Zorran's impatience. • Sally (voiced by
JoAnne Good,
Susan Blu in unreleased US dub, Sakurako Kishiro in the Japanese dub,
Lenore Zann in ''
Salty's Lighthouse'' and Tara E. Johnson in the 2022 YouTube dub) is a
seaplane who is a friend of the Star Fleet, who have the contract to provide her fuel. Sunshine appears to have a slight crush on her. She appears only briefly in a selected number of episodes, and spoke only in "Sunshine". Sally's tail-number is S-ALLY, a fictional sequence that would not be assigned to a real plane - any civil aircraft registered in the United States has a tail-number beginning with the letter 'N'. As the original prop has been presumed lost, The Star Tugs trust are receiving a rebuilt Sally model from the owner of the original Seaplane molds, arriving in Easter 2017. • Puffa (voiced by John Baddeley,
Hideyuki Umezu in the Japanese dub and
Paul Dobson in ''
Salty's Lighthouse) is a steam locomotive who works on the dockside railway at Bigg City Port. Used for a variety of tasks within the port and at the docks up river, he is a trusted friend of the Star Fleet and Warrior in particular. He has made two appearances in "Up River" and "Munitions", and also made a brief appearance in "High Tide". Other trains seen around Bigg City have the same whistle-sound and feature similar styling as Puffa. In "Munitions", he was warned by Ten Cents, O.J., Zorran, Zak, and Zebedee to escape from a dockside fire. In the episode "Up River", he raced down river from the logging camps inland to warn Top Hat, Warrior, and O.J. that a broken log jam was headed toward them (propelled by an explosion of dynamite, kudos to Billy Shoepack). In Salty's Lighthouse'', Puffa was most of the time known as the mail train. In one episode, however, he was briefly referred to as Chooch. Puffa is a
DRG Class 80 with Oil-Burning Headlamp, Diamond Smokestack, and Cowcatcher and He also burns wood instead of coal. Puffa is also painted in a Silver-Like Gray Livery. His name is a pun on the word "puffer", a common informal nickname for a steam locomotive. His whistle was last used in the "
Wombling Free" song "Wombling White the and Trails" which came from
Union Pacific No. 4466 • Little Owl is a
tank locomotive that made several brief appearances, most notably in "High Tide". • There are several bell buoys across Bigg City Port, most of them yellow. Notably, one appeared very briefly in "Pirate", having been 'silenced' by the pirates in order to make their escape, and getting bumped into by Warrior when he was working with Top Hat to catch the thief. The buoy was voiced by
Shaun Prendergast. In the Japanese dub, he was voiced by Sakurako Kishiro. In the episode "Jinxed", a "Wreck" Buoy appeared very briefly, as well as when Ten Cents hoots his whistle to test the Jinx, a nearby marker buoy ("Dem-Der") sinks. This was the only appearance of these two buoys. • Philbert (voiced by
Shaun Prendergast, Sakurako Kishiro in the Japanese dub and Dylan Theune in the 2022 YouTube dub) is a bell buoy who only appears in the episode "Pirate". He had a minor role in the episode where he got bumped by Warrior and got "muffled" by the Pirates. He was never referred by name.
Props • The Steam
Schooner that appeared in "Quarantine" was a prop that never got voiced. It has Johnny Cuba's whistle. • Fishing boats are boats that collect fish. Their models are believed to be lost. • The Steam Yacht was an unused prop boat that is believed to be lost as well. The Galleon was an old wooden sailing ship that sank many centuries ago and became frozen inside an iceberg. The White Fleet came to Bigg City Port to look for this ship, during winter, where the thick fog came down at night. Because of the warmer waters out at sea, the iceberg melted, causing the galleon to rise to the surface, much to the surprise of Ten Cents and Sunshine, who were taking fuel out to Lillie Lightship at the time. After the galleon was found, Burke and Blair towed it to The Breaker's Yard, where it was scrapped. ==References==
