Bluenose

**Envoy "Bluenose" the Officious Naval Tug** is one of the antagonists in the Seventyverse's TUGS spinoff series and was owned by the Navy in Bigg City Port before his discharge and execution in 1922 following the Munitions disaster.

## Backstory

Envoy, or Bluenose as he was called due to his blue nose (Details regarding Blazing Stars to be added).

Bluenose attempted to have Grampus blown up in target practice. Luckily, the Star Fleet was able to save Grampus, and he later joined the Star Fleet too.

During the Naval Maneuvers of 1921, Bluenose went with Big Mac, O.J. and Sunshine to make sure they tow in the naval tramper, Kraka-Toa safely. However, Bluenose kept barking orders at them and Big Mac lost his temper, causing O.J.'s towline to snap. Fortunately, Sunshine saved the day and Admiral Cardona scolded Bluenose for his obnoxious behaviour.

In 1922, Bluenose was assigned to watch over Kraka-Toa's arrival, loading and departure. He was shown attempting to order Hercules, O.J., Finbar, Ten Cents, Zorran, Sea Rogue and Michael Bateson about. However, his attempts to be the one in charge led to disaster when he did not listen to good advice from the other tugs, causing a devastating fire which led to the destruction of part of the dockside, the fall of Big Mickey and the destruction of Kraka-Toa. During the fire, his engine broke down and he was saved by Ten Cents. The chaos left him in a state of shell shock. He was towed home in disgrace by Grampus the next morning, where Admiral Cardona and the navy, having had enough of Bluenose's behavior, including him starting the Bigg City Fire, had him court-martialled. Bluenose was found guilty and was dishonorably discharged and sentenced to death by Final Firing on the orders of Admiral Cardona. His remains were then taken out to sea and blown up in target practice, much to everyone's delight and relief.

After this, Jimbo was built by Captain Lucky and bought by Cardona to replace him.

## Personality

Bluenose played precisely by the rules, and acted as a stereotypical army sergeant towards the other characters. He was obnoxious, bossy, pompous, and self absorbed. He often referred to the other tugs as "laddie" and was notorious for putting orders before using common sense.

Bluenose also had a tendency to abuse his status and position as a naval tug, and was not above bullying other tugs to get his way. Ten Cents even considered him to be worse than the Z-Stacks, and the two fleets shared a mutual dislike towards him. Naturally, everyone was relieved when Bluenose was executed after he was dishonorably discharged from the Navy.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Bluenose' basis is unknown, though his basis is shared with Sea Rogue.

### Livery

Bluenose was painted blue-grey all over with his name printed on his sides in white. He wore a white sailor's cap.

## Differences between the episodes, Salty's Lighthouse and the SeventyVerse

* In the episodes, Bluenose's fate was left unknown after the events of Munitions, although book material showed him still in the Navy. In the SeventyVerse, Bluenose was executed for his actions and Jimbo replaced him.
* In *Salty's Lighthouse*,

## Trivia

* Although he has a canon voice in Paul Dobson from *Salty's Lighthouse*, the preferred voice actor for Bluenose is Martin Savage, who portrayed Warden Hodges from the 2016 *Dad's Army* film. This change was made to better suit his personality.
