Interesting observation!





I checked a dictionary, and the answer is ';no.';


Initially I thought, ';Hmm... maybe they ARE related!';


However, a tub refers to an open vessel, whereas a tube is enclosed. No connection.

Tub





';open wooden vessel,'; late 14c., from M.L.G., M.Du., or M.Flem. tubbe, of uncertain origin. Related to O.H.G. zubar ';vessel with two handles, wine vessel,'; Ger. Zuber. Considered to be unrelated to L. tubus (see tube); one theory connects it to the root of two based on the number of handles. Also 17c. slang for ';pulpit;'; hence tub-thumper (1662) ';speaker or preacher who thumps the pulpit for emphasis.';

Tube





1611, from M.Fr. tube (1460), from L. tubus ';tube, pipe,'; of unknown origin. The London subway was christened the Twopenny Tube before it even opened (H.D. Browne, in the ';Londoner'; of June 30, 1900); tube for ';cylindrical railway tunnel'; is attested from 1847. The meaning ';TV as a medium'; is from 1959, short for cathode ray tube or picture tube. Tube top as a women's clothing style is attested from 1972. Tubular is attested from 1673, ';having the form of a tube or pipe,'; but the modern slang sense is from 1982, Valspeak, from surfers' slang for a hollow, curling wave, ideal for riding. Tube steak is attested from 1963 as ';frankfurter,'; slang meaning ';penis'; is recorded by mid-1980s. Tubing as a recreational pastime is recorded from 1975.

you would have to assume that all tubs were tubular shaped back when invented
