Emily
Type: Ocean Tug V-word: Vigorous

Emily is the only female tug in the The Big Harbour. She wears a turquoise fishing hat.

Bio

Emily the Vigorous loves to be admired and hates to look silly in front of her friends, because they always have high expectations for her and look up to her as a leader. But she always comes to find that her friends are there to help her, even if she doesn't ask for their help. She usually gets into arguments with George, but they always resolve their disagreements. But no matter how upset Emily gets, she always shows her kind spirits and female strength. She is friends with Carla although she nearly got Emily into trouble when she encouraged her to break the rules. Emily once wanted to be called Annapolis in Hank's New Name, which also happens to be her middle name. Once, Carla got her into trouble by hiding Bonnavista in a cove.

• Emily's model is on display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
• Emily's small scale model (used for far shots) was offered for sale on eBay as well as her face masks.
