The Liners from the 1989 children's series TUGS were always played a critical role of getting the bustling port-like atmosphere in the show.The Duchess
The Duchess is the first Ocean Liner we encounter in the series - in the very first episode Sunshine. She only appeared in two seperate scenes in the whole of that episode: when the Star's were towing her in - and in the nightime 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 distinctively modified.Princess Alice
Princess Alice was the most prominant of the three Liners - she appeared in two episodes (High Winds, and 4th of July), in High Winds she was in need of repair and the Star's (and Zebedee) all fought against the heavy win ds to bring her safely into port. When she appeared in the final episode 4th of July, she was fully repaired - and was celebrating Independance Day heartilly with the other vessels.S.S.Vienna
S.S.Vienna was the most vague but at the same time beautiful Ocean Liner ever to come into Bigg City Port. She was pale mauve in colour and, much to Lillie Lightship's jealousy - certainly captured Hercules' breath! She appeared in the episode Bigg Freeze where the Star Tugs and Z-Stacks alike were eagerly awaiting her reeturn. She performed a hearty rendition of segmeent of the TUGS theme tune (with added dialogue of course).[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for TUGS Liner Characters ]
