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.

We had yet more rain and wind in The New Forest today so I took myself off to Calshot spit on the end of Southampton water to see what I could see. the answer was not a great deal as the visibility was low. I did catch the harbour master out on a jaunt and this tug going back to its berth.

Tug 99 seems to have been listed on TOPS for some time but doesn't seem to have left Toton , so maybe this is its first run out since being reinstated ?
Seen at Chesterfield running L/E as the 0840 0E23 Toton - Doncaster Belmont Yard.

Spent the day relaxing, enjoying the nice weather and some alone time with the family. Watched Hachi, a movie about an Akita who waited at a train station for nine years for his owner who passed away... really understand the meaning of loyalty and how special a relationship with another animal can be.
Also working out shooting with the Sigma, this was shot at 1.4 with a slight micro adjustment to account for the small bit of front focusing.

Tug of war between the RNLI and Mersey Divers.
This was the second of yearly competition. Held New Years Day at New Brighton beach they are hoping to turn it into an annual event. This year's winners where the RNLI
Tugs, Carrington Basin, Port of Newcastle.
'WICKHAM' and 'MAYFIELD' are sisterships, that are, along with another sistership 'CARRINGTON', the three largest tugs currently operating in the port.
'SVITZER MAITLAND' is another of the quad shown here.
More from the sled races. Have to take a trip back up there today. Left my credit card at the bar :)

March 3, 2009: Though they are the largest and most widely scattered objects in the universe, galaxies do go bump in the night. The Hubble Space Telescope has photographed many pairs of galaxies colliding. Like snowflakes, no two examples look exactly alike. This is one of the most arresting galaxy smash-up images to date.
At first glance, it looks as if a smaller galaxy has been caught in a tug-of-war between a Sumo-wrestler pair of elliptical galaxies. The hapless, mangled galaxy may have once looked more like our Milky Way, a pinwheel-shaped galaxy. But now that it's caught in a cosmic Cuisinart, its dust lanes are being stretched and warped by the tug of gravity. Unlike the elliptical galaxies, the spiral is rich in dust and gas for the formation of new stars. It is the fate of the spiral galaxy to be pulled like taffy and then swallowed by the pair of elliptical galaxies. This will trigger a firestorm of new stellar creation. If there are astronomers on any planets in this galaxy group, they will have a ringside seat to seeing a flurry of starbirth unfolding over many millions of years to come. Eventually the ellipticals should merge too, creating one single super-galaxy many times larger than our Milky Way. This trio is part of a tight cluster of 16 galaxies, many of them being dwarf galaxies. The galaxy cluster is called the Hickson Compact Group 90 and lies about 100 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish.
Alfie is a beaver-style tug with a large open rear deck and a towing post. Ideal as a workboat, small tug, filming platform, camera boat or safety boat on the River Thames in London and connected waterways.
New to the Livett’s Group in 2010, she underwent a full refit bringing her up to the high standards of the other boats in the Livett’s fleet. Alfie was been fitted with a pusher bow and had rubber fendering fitted all the way around the hull. Alfie’s main cabin comprises the steering position and access to the engine room and forward cabin. The forward cabin has been fitted out with a WC and areas for storage.
Alfie has been used as a safety boat on a number of projects for both filming and marine civil engineering, including: launch of the new Jaguar XE - Emeli Sande concert on a floating stage; Hammersmith Bridge maintenance; Blackfriars Railway Bridge maintenance; and Battersea Power Station aggregate removal.
Alfie is seen above dressed overall with a film or TV cameraman on the rear deck at the start of the 2012 Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. The crowds in the foreground are lining the South Bank of the river in front of the National Theatre.
Alfie is 10.8m long, with a beam of 4m and draught of 0.82m. The 17-tonne vessel has a top speed of 8 kt and can carry a maximum of six people.
On the 21st April 2025 an Astute Class submarine is seen leaving Devonport with the 'Adept Class ' tugs 'SD Adept', 'SD Careful', 'SD Faithful' plus Damen Stan 2608 'SD Hercules'. If the internet is to be believed it is likely to be HMS Astute joining the Carrier Strike 25 tasking but as with all things submarine there is no formal announcement. 'Cemvale' is seen anchored in the sound.
