Excerpt: Bigg City Port (also known as just Bigg City ) is a fictional harbour the setting of the 1988 children's television series TUGS. The port is home to two tugboat fleets around which the series centres, the Star Tugs and The Z Stacks. It is unknown whether or not the port is named after a larger area surrounding it named Bigg City, or if Bigg City is the name of the port itself. In TUGS' fictional universe, Bigg City Port is "the biggest harbour in the world" in the 1920s, the era in which the series is set. Bigg City's main import and export of goods comes from the ocean liner vessels in the series, who use the port as a dock. The area includes various facilities necessary to the port itself (such as coal and oil depots, repair yards and the municipal dump), and a number of factories and warehouses are also located there. Tramp steamers, car floats, fishing vessels and barges of all kinds frequently are seen passing through. The port also contains several old and abandoned areas, one of which were used during the series by criminals as a hideout. A number of locations just outside the port briefly appear in the series as well, such as Upriver and Dem Der Rocks (see below).A basic map of part of the port was produced for the Tugs board game. In the American spin-off of TUGS, Salty's Lighthouse, Bigg City Port was re-named Snugboat Harbour.
