Great set of pictures, George.
I must admit I expected to find CORMOORING in Bill Harvey's book on Cory Towage Ltd, but she is not in even though she has a tow hook.
Completed for William Cory & Son Ltd she was originally fitted with a 2 Cy Compound Steam Engine with Cly size 10" and 20".
Stroke was 15" and the Engine Builder was Plenty and Son Ltd, Newbury. She was fitted to burn fuel oil and had a Gross tonnage of 117 and a Dwt of 36 Tons.
In 1966 she was re-engined with an 8cy Bergius-Kelvin Diesel and in 1969 she was sold to Medway Ports, Authority.
No disposal date given.
