The Day Ice Came to the Harbour is the eleventh episode of the first season.
Plot
Ice clogs the Big Harbour, more then it has in over 100 years! The ice restricts the pilot boats to their docks and places the pride of The Big Harbour in the tugboats. It will require an extra special effort to prevent the harbour from closing, but the tugs are sure that they are up to the task, but without the pilot boats to direct them, all they do is argue over who should be in charge. When George's engines overheat and with an icebreaker named Icebreaker Inverness on the way, and Olympia (a tanker) in her path, the tugs finally realize that only teamwork will prevent an accident. At the end of the day the tugs return to their dock exhausted and proud, knowing that their friendship is stronger than ice.
