She was built of welded steel in Germany at the close of WW2, and launched by Henry Scarr Ltd. at Hessle in October 1945. She was completed by the UK Ministry of Transport, given a 2 cylinder steam engine by John Dickinson & Sons Ltd at Sunderland, and registered in Britain as ON 180480, and designated TID 174 (Tug, Inshore & Dock). There were 182 TIDs, of 54 GRT, and measuring between 65 and 71 feet long, 17' wide, with a draught between 6 and 8 feet. She was laid up initially in 1946 under the management of Townsend Brothers (Ferries) Ltd., and then set to work, along with TIDs 159, 164, 165, and 167—175, with the Port of London Authority. In the same year she was re-allocated to the French Government.
In 1948 she went to Le Havre, to the Compagnie de Remorquage et de Sauvetage Les Abeilles, and renamed ABEILLE XIII or ABEILLE 13. In 1963 she was sold to Sirespa Building Co. Ltd. of La Baie, Quebec, Canada, but only sailed across to Southampton, where she was re-engined with an 8cylinder GM diesel of 375bhp, by Glebe Construction Ltd., before being laid up in the River Hamble for sale. She was purchased by Red Funnel in 1966 and re-named BONCHURCH. In 1983 she was sold to the shipbreakers Pounds Marine Shipping at Portsmouth, but then was resold in 1987 to Marev Tugs at Penryn. In 1992 she went to Lagan Marine Services, Belfast, but quickly moved in 1993 to Tyne Towage, but was never used. In 1998 she was sold to the American company Read Heavy Lift, but never moved before being resold in 2002 to Eveleigh (Griffin Towage) at Southampton . She was seen for sale in Plymouth that year and went to Shane Francis at Leigh on Sea. She was again put up for sale in 2004, and was seen on the slip in Ramsgate in the summer of 2005, when she was reported as having been re-named BON CHANCE but that may not have happened, . In 2006 she was spotted lying for sale on the other side of the Mersey at Weston Point… and now she's on the Sankey Canal.
An opduwer or opdrukker is a small tug- or towboat that was used in the Low Countries to push barges on inland waterways. Opduwers were predominantly in use in the first half of the twentieth century. During that time the internal combustion engine got adapted for inland shipping. Earlier, barges were propelled either by sail or by towing from shore by horse or manpower. Fitting an engine and propeller to an existing barge was found cumbersome however. It was easier to construct a small tugboat and use this to propel the existing barge. Opduwers were built between about 1910 to 1940. A large number survive as pleasure craft.
The skipper of the barge was commonly also the owner of the opduwer so barge and tugboat formed a working pair. The barge was sometimes towed but most commonly pushed by the opduwer. The word opduwer literally translates to 'on-pusher' in English. When used as a pusher the opduwer was lashed to the stern of the barge and often controlled from the barge using a string or the boat hook. The opduwer offered additional advantages to the skipper as it could be used as a handy motorboat for various tasks and there was no noise or vibration from the engine in the barge itself.
The first opduwers of around 1910 were simple wooden rowing boats that had an engine fitted. Later opduwers were built on shipyards, often from material that was left over from the construction of large ships. Early opduwers were made of either wood or steel but later only steel was used. Common sizes were from 4.5 to 6 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, weighing between 1 and 3 ton.

So I'm helping a friend of mine with some research. I know my way around M.S. Excel and he, well, let's say he knows were to find the computers on/off switch. This research is about arrival of planes and the delivery of goods at the platform/gate, incoming as well as leaving. To get the goods from the depots to the platform they use tugs. And another source of inspiration was found...
The carts, as your trained eye detected immediately, are really simple, yet I'm quiet pleased with the elegance. The tug however, ain't so elegant. And neither is it simple. The snot work? There is not a direction it isn't going (Okay, no upside down).

A full hull model for display of a american style harbour tug. The model contains lots of details.
storage space on the front and rear deck. A slidingdoor to enter the detailed wheelhouse which also has a detachable roof for easy access.
There is a achor winch located at the bow and yellow engine underneath the funnel. Yellow so it must be a Caterpilar engine.
To be able to use this model in my harbour lay-out I made the underwatership in two pieces. you can easily lift off the the top part and put it in any lay-out.

A tug boat is docked for the weekend at Havre De Grace MD while an eastbound manifest crosses the Susquehanna River over the venerable former B&O trestle on CSXT's Philadelphia Subdivision on February 11, 2024. The closer bridge carries US Rte 40 across the river while barely discernible in the background is the bridge which carries Interstate 95 across the river.
