With the odd exception I know very little about the history
of these workhorses. As you can see Henry Robb’s was quite a prolific tug builder.
Even building the biggest tug in the World, at that time, the WOLRAAD
WOLTEMADE. Any information of these vessels is most welcome.
If these details are not correct or you have more
information please e-mail me graham@pilot.pprune.com
