Goofs

• It is revealed in this episode that it takes three tugs to move a ship like Freda, but Theodore pulled her by himself in Theodore the Tug in Charge. Theodore also pulled Julia by himself in Theodore the Vegetable and she is much bigger.
• George has pulled much heavier loads than just a barge filled with something before and found it really easy.
