“	Attention! Attention!	„
	~ Bluenose before barking out orders.

Bluenose is a major antagonist in the short-lived children's television series TUGS. Specifically, he is the main antagonist of two episodes, "Regatta" and "Munitions".

He is an obnoxious naval tug who plays precisely by the rules and acts as a kind of stereotypical army sergeant towards the other tugs. He is annoying, bossy, pompous, and self-centred. While his intentions are not malicious, he is notorious for putting orders before common sense.

Bluenose also appears in repurposed TUGS footage in Salty's Lighthouse.

He is voiced by the late Mike O’ Malley in Tugs, and by Scott McNeil in Salty's Lighthouse.

Biography

As mentioned earlier, Bluenose is an extremely arrogant and rude tugboat with a stereotypical drill sergeant type of attitudes. Bluenose also assigns the tugs to haul highly dangerous ammunitions to be taken and loaded onto a freighter. Ten Cents, one of the Star Tugs considers him even worse than the Z-Stacks, and in general, he seems to have managed to unite the Star Tugs and Z-Stacks against him.

Bluenose's rudeness and bossiness finally became his downfall when at a harbor delivery, he pushed in front of the others and bumped a barge full of ammunition which caused a fire, leading to the death of the harbor crane Big Mickey and the sinking of the naval tramper Kraka-Toa. Bluenose's engine stopped working and he was left in shock. Ten Cents rescues Bluenose and is safe. Grampus the submarine arrives and takes the disgraced and still shellshocked Bluenose away. He is most likely punished severely by the Navy for his rude, bullying and reckless behavior. Given that this was his last appearance in the series, it is possible that he was discharged.

Trivia

Bluenose's model was reused as another character named Sea Rogue. Unlike Bluenose, Sea Rogue is a kind tug. The model was originally built as Bluenose first. The model was then turned into Sea Rogue for the filming of the episode "Pirate". The model was then turned back into Bluenose for the filming of "Regatta" and "Munitions". After those 2 episodes, the model was then changed for the final time being turned back into Sea Rogue for the filming of "Bigg Freeze". Sea Rogue's appearance in the episode was filmed, but was never released. The model is currently Sea Rogue and is owned by Tugs: The Exhibition.
