Next small project to take away, a WWII steam tug full of character
These were a series of emergency tugs built from 1943 to '45. A total of 182 of these little prefabricated tugs were built in modular units, by several different yards around the U.K. often by women workers. Unusual in being of a hard chine design and all welded construction.
Plenty of further info available here http://www.steamtugbrent.org/history-of-tid-class-tugs.html
Keel shear piece laid
started on the frames
Hopefully along with Stuart's
we'll inspire some scratch building.
I hope you'll join us for the trip
