Tugboat 'Brent'

The historic tugboat 'Brent' permanently berthed at high tide amongst 'the beast from the east' ice and snow that plagued the United Kingdom during the final days of February and early March 2018 on Hythe Quay on the River Blackwater Estuary in the town of Maldon in the County of Essex (UK).

 

The former Port of London Authority Tugboat 'Brent' was built in 1945 and has been preserved at Maldon Hythe Quay since 1971.

 

Like all discerning historic tugboats, Brent has a website www.steamtugbrent.org/ and a cat flic.kr/p/iTHeuM
