Theodore Too
''Theodore Too'' is a large-scale imitation tugboat built in Dayspring, Nova Scotia in 2000 based on the fictional television tugboat character ''Theodore Tugboat''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ALTS.net - History of Nova Scotia, 2000 March 1–19 - Theodore Tugboat )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Red Cross Joins Forces with Theodore Tugboat to Promote Water Safety )〕
==History==
''Theodore Too'' was commissioned by Cochran Entertainment, Inc.,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TVAcres.com - Boats - Barges & Tugboats - Theodore Tugboat )〕 the now-defunct production company. Andrew Cochran, the creator of ''Theodore Tugboat'',〔 had told his son bedtime stories about the boats in the big harbour and how they interacted with everyone. This later became the basis for the TV series. Theodore became so popular, the company constructed a life-size model of him for marketing and promoting water safety.〔〔 The boat is unusual, as it is a full-size replica of a scale model. The original model which was used to film the series and inspired ''Theodore Too'' can be seen at Halifax's Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Exhibits of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic - Theodore Tugboat )〕 ''Theodore Too'' was built at Snyder's Shipyard in Dayspring, Nova Scotia and launched on April 19, 2000. After sea trials out of Lunenburg, the vessel made its first port call to Halifax on May 6, 2000.〔Sandy MacDonald, "The Little Boat Who Would Float: Lifesize Theodore Tugboat takes to the Sea in Lunenburg", Halifax Daily News, April 20, 2000〕 The ocean-going boat made a 50-city tour down the eastern seaboard to Tampa Bay and back again through the Great Lakes to Chicago. Theodore Too became the Ambassador of the U.S. National Safe Boating Council and mascot to the U.S. Coast Guard, participating in several tall ship events.〔 For most if its time touring the eastern seaboard and Great Lakes, Theodore Too had a full-time three-person crew, headed by Captain Bill Stewart, a 25-year veteran tugboat captain, who also had an additional nine years as a 44-foot motor lifeboat coxswain in the Canadian Coast Guard. After Cochran Entertainment went out of business, the boat was purchased by a Halifax tour boat company, ''Murphys on the Water''. The vessel provides tours of Halifax Harbour in the summer, operating from the Cable Wharf in downtown Halifax.
