Lady Alma Tug, Grimsby.

I think this picture was taken early 1970s. It has some water damage top left, but I thought okay to show on flickr.

She was built in 1966.

By 1978 she was working in Great Yarmouth clearing an oil spill

In 1983 she was working at Hull Docks.

She appears to have been a true East Coast stalwart.

 

The name Lady Alma was taken by a new tug based in Immingham, presumably when this ship was decommissioned. The new Lady Alma was renamed in 2007 when the company that owned her was taken over. She too is a Tug.

 

The photograph shows a busy port scene at Grimsby with the Dock Tower in the background - still a landmark today.
