CANNING TUG

Often (mistakenly) referred to as the last British steam tug, the single screw CANNING was built, for the Alexandra Towing Co., of Liverpool during the late 50’s. Having a ‘modern’ looking wheelhouse and bridge wings the design of the Canning and her contemporaries paved the way for the more familiar diesel tugs of the 60s and 70s., and possibly through to the mid 80s.  No scrap yard , or ‘sold-abroad’ for the CANNING, for after her long career accumulating in the South Wales ports, this lucky boat was retired into Swansea Maritime Museum where she is on permanent display.  GRP plated & riveted Hull , finished in our Rust color gel coat (scratch the paintwork and rust shows through!) with wood deck and superstructure
