First a series of pics of South
African steam tug "Sir William Hoy" photographed in action in Durban, -
1978.
This tug operated since 1928,
and was finally taken out of service in 1979, - just one year after I took
these pictures.
Finally she was scrapped in
Durban in 1982. ( What a pity! Should have been preserved as a maritime
museum!)
Built in England by Armstrong
Whitworth and Co. in Newcastle on Tyne.
786 GRT, - 294 Net, - Dimensions
in feet: 171 x 36,5 x 17.
