You know you’ve always wanted to ride in a tugboat as it pushes around

a huge cargo ship, right? Well, that’s what we do in Episode 3. We go

inside working life on the San Francisco Bay to see how brutal

competition among shipping companies threatens the viability of the

small businesses that ply the waters. Meet a tugboat dispatcher, a

skipper, and the first female captain of an American freighter. It’s a

case study in how globalization works and our first look at the

challenges the port faces.
