- This is Freda's only speaking role, despite the fact that she only said one line and her name wasn't even mentioned.
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 Margaret by himself in The Cold Snap and she is much bigger.
- George has pulled much heavier loads than just a barge filled with something before and found it very easy.
- In the first shot of Emily and Foduck struggling to move Caroline, the large container ship, the camera shakes.
