Tugs in Colour - British Built

This book is a sequel to Andrew Wiltshire's first book on tugs, Looking Back at British Tugs, which was published in 2007. This time he concentrates on examples that were completed in British Shipyards. He has always been fascinated by the number of small shipyards that once existed around the UK, and often by the location of these yards. Many of them specialised in building tugs large and small for the home market as well as for customers overseas, and not just in the British colonies. Such was the quality of British-built tugs, that some went on to give many years of service. In 2016 a surprising number that have exceeded their 50th birthday can be found hard at work at locations around the world. This book covers tugs built at 46 different UK Shipyards.
