A Coast Guard boat crew aboard the Triumph II, a 52-foot Motor Life Boat from Coast Guard Cape Disappointment, tows the 58-foot fishing vessel Ashlyne to Astoria, Ore., Dec. 10, 2017.

While the station has both 52-MLBs and 47-foot Motor Life Boats, the 52-MLB was specifically chosen for this operation as it is better capable at crossing the Columbia River bar and has a higher towing capacity.
