Schooner

A schooner is a sailing vessel used for transporting cargo. Two of these work in Bigg City Port.

Bio

When it was the big heatwave in Bigg City Port, some schooners were found to have sickness aboard. They had to stay anchored out of port out in the estuary and fly a checkered flag to show that they are in quarantine for forty days and to avoid all shipping to stay clear.

Captain Star once ordered Boomer to tow a schooner out to sea early morning, but unfortunately, lightning struck the schooner's sails. The Fire Tug later towed Boomer and the burnt-out schooner back to Bigg City Port. However, Fire Tug claimed that it was not lightning but sparks from Boomer's stack.

Livery

Some schooners are painted brown while others are painted white. They all have white masts. One schooner in the intro sequence seems to have a black funnel.

After Tugs

After TUGS' production ended, the two models of the schooners were reused in the Thomas & Friends television series. The involved models were used on-set as background props for the harbors.
