History: Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Theodore TOO. I’m a 65-foot tugboat working replica of the original TV character Theodore Tugboat from the beloved CBC series “Theodore Tugboat”. I was built at Snyder’s Shipyard in Dayspring, Nova Scotia and launched on April 19th, 2000, but my official birthday (my certificate day) is May 5th, 2000.
