tug's
Towboat's sharp pulls
Tug's is the possessive form of tug—a boat designed to pull larger vessels, or the act of pulling with force.
The possessive indicates belonging: the tug's engine failed mid-harbor, I felt the tug's strength on my fishing line.
Can also be a contraction of "tug is" or "tug has" in casual speech.
