Those thrusters must be incredibly powerful.

I have always been impressed by the thrusters on these cruise ships.
Just watching them "parallel park" on the crowded docks along the
Miami River with a stiff onshore wind is a thing to see,.


Heh. Not quite in the same league, but here's me parallel docking the
Navigator using five horsepower (electric) thrusters.

Nicely done. Was that on the ICW?
