GL: Talking to tows

[Bob Clinkenbeard]

Close.....   Tow ... Any number of Barges ( 1 or More ), are called a tow. 
When lashed together, or coupled to the boat, called a Tow.  Its term 
originates from the earliest use of barges, with steamboats!

Interesting site, collection of good information..........
