Andrew Cochran, the creator of Theodore Tugboat,[1][5] had told his son bedtime stories about the boats in the big harbour and how they interacted with everyone.

[7] The ocean-going boat made a 50-city tour down the eastern seaboard to Tampa Bay, Florida, and back again through the Great Lakes to Chicago, Illinois.

Theodore Too became the Ambassador of the U.S. National Safe Boating Council and mascot to the U.S. Coast Guard, participating in several tall ship events.

[11] The tug was expected to collaborate with Swim Drink Fish, a water education and conservation advocacy group, and promote sustainability and preservation of the Great Lakes.

On December 17, 2024, many St. Catharines, Ontario locals noticed that Theodore Too was sitting low in the water, while moored at the Port Weller Dry Docks.
