Sea Rogue

View source
"Come on, Old Man...let's get you home."
— Sea Rogue to his uncle, Pirate

Sea Rogue is a tug who works up river at the Munitions Factory. While he is known to wear an eye patch, this does not necessarily make him a pirate, as the Star Fleet found out. He speaks with a West Country accent.

Biography

In his flagship episode, a pair of green-eyed tugs kidnapped his uncle and threatened to scuttle him unless Sea Rogue stole barges for them. The pirates were later caught by Ten Cents, Sunshine, Grampus, and Sea Rogue himself, who devised a plan to capture the two villains. Sea Rogue had been previously mistaken as the pirate himself, hence his nickname and he later forgave the Star Tugs for ever thinking that about him. He then returned to a peaceful life with his uncle up river.

Audio Files

Sea Rogue shares the same whistle sound as Bluenose. His whistle plays a high note with a distinct warble, giving it a very bubbly sound.

Livery

Sea Rogue's appearance is somewhat intimidating, especially his eye patch, a typical pirate trademark. He was a blackish-blue tug in colour, and he did not seem to work for any particular fleet. However, the Mi symbol on his stack suggests that he works at the munitions factory, as the same symbol is seen on factory and warehouse doors.

Sea Rogue was painted in a rich navy blue for the production of Pirate. After filming this episode, the model was converted into Bluenose for his two episodes. After filming these, the model was painted back into a brighter navy blue for Sea Rogue and his railings and lifeboat arms retained the white appearance from Bluenose. His name's font was also slightly changed. But he retained his white Munitions logo, and his black hat.

Trivia

  • Sea Rogue was featured in a deleted scene in Bigg Freeze where he found Zip and Zug fiddling with the lodged fire barge, then going off to tell the Fire Chief. Hence the "That's not what I heard" remark from the Fire Chief.
  • It is unknown why he wears an eyepatch. It may be likely that it was added just for show without the crew giving it an actual reason. Fans have theorized that an accident at the Munitions Factory may have blinded him in one eye, this theory would make sense given his link to said factory.
  • Although he has an uncle, it is unknown how a tug can have an uncle or if he actually is his uncle.
  • His model case has a nametag for Bluenose, because his model was first built as him.
  • In Salty's Lighthouse, Sea Rogue was simply called the Pirate. He was an antagonist who willingly stole cargo, but he only existed in Top Hat's dreams. Ironically, footage of the real Pirate Tugs was also used to represent him.
  • Sea Rogue's livery resembles that of the tugs used by Standard Oil during the 1920's and 1930's. Ironically, Standard Oil's tugboats were former navy tugboats, similar to how Sea Rogue's model was re-used for one.
  • Sea Rogue is the only tug that isn't a Star Tug or Z-Stack whose livery resembles that of a real life tug fleet.
