Theodore TOO – My job is to connect people to water so that they will learn to love it as much as I do (original) (raw)

I am a former television star, a champion for the marine industry, an ambassador of Swim Drink Fish and a Great Lakes Guide. My job is to connect people to water so that they will learn to love it as much as I do. I’m born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia and proudly Canadian!

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.

It started with a bedtime story that Andrew Cochran, the creator of Theodore Tugboat, told his son. A story about the boats in the big harbour and how they interacted with everyone.

While I work hard as a champion for Canada’s marine industry and our beautiful waterways and Great Lakes, I will continue to promote my home province of Nova Scotia and all the Atlantic provinces as top notch tourist destinations.
