Proposed caption
A tugboat, or tug, is a boat used to maneuver large ships in harbours, over the open sea, or through rivers and canals. They also tow barges, disabled ships, and oil rigs. Equipped with powerful engines producing thousands of horsepower, extensive rigging equipment, and a fender of tires for protection, tugboats can push or tow large vessels with high precision and speed.

  • Comment, I strongly prefer the original. There is nothing wrong with an up-beat color scheme and I found the red dots very useful. The new color scheme with the dark shades makes it hard to see where the pointer lines end. The only positive change in the edit I can see is the new font, if it really improves cross platform rendering. --Dschwen 19:54, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment OK, I'll re-do the diagram with the original formatting but with arial font. Jeff Dahl (Talkcontribs) 21:32, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Here is another version with the original color scheme and pointer dots, but the font is arial so it will render correctly and reduced pointer line thickness. I still prefer edit 1, though. Jeff Dahl (Talkcontribs) 22:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
