George, has one or more of the beautiful tugs been conserved or are they all broken up?

Jan, there are vey few preserved tugs in the UK, very much different from the Netherlands, maybe only 2 or 3.
I have been involved for many years with the DANIEL ADAMSON of 1903, it was possible to get her back into steam only with almost GBP4 million from our Heritage Lottery Fund! I will post some photos of her.
