Had to be downtown this morning so took the opportunity to head down to the riverside to see if I could see any ships to mark my 62nd ship observing anniversary! As it happened I could obtain only this one view of SMS tugs.
(Left to right)
(Obscured) GUARDSMAN (8521127), United Kingdom, 245gt, completed La Spezia 6-1987
1987 GERMANIA - 2094 TUMAK -20 10 TELSTAR - 2014 SIRIUS - 2020 GUARDSMAN
*****
(Obscured) ROMAN (9207106), United Kingdom, 228gt, completed La Spezia 3-1999
1999 ALFREDO NERI - 2018 MOMENTUM G - 2020 ROMAN
******
(Unobscured) MARKSMAN (9780562), United Kingdom, 268gt, completed Danang 6-2019

Initially I thought I had spotted only two tugs and it wasn't until I edited the view that I spotted the ROMAN sandwiched between the other two!

Port Clarence Inset Dock - 19 November 2022:

At least I can say I got as many new sightings today as I did on day 1 - 19 November 1960 (see AYUTHIA)
Today's version was the GUARDSMAN.

Use NEM search facility for many other views of MARKSMAN.

No ROMAN in this view Ron, NOBLEMAN is the middle tug

Oops! So it is!! Thanks Patrick. Partly fooled by PDshipping list also recording ROMAN as being there with those other three.

The problem is that after 62 years (and those several more!) eyes grow dim, I cannot see .....!
