Chelsea Tugboat – The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
In the film’s story, Chelsea was used for regular tugboat harbor work. Shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Chelsea’s captain Mike decides to support US navy with his one and only wealth; Chelsea. During a night patrol, Chelsea encounters a German U-boat and Captain Mike dies from incoming MG fire. Before his death, he puts the throttle at full flank and rams into the U-boat on it’s side, causing an explosion and resulting in the sinking of Chelsea.
