HERE IS MODEL OF RIDLEYS TUGS THE MARTY

Hi

Great model , my Dad would be proud of you as he was her skipper for many years.

My only comments is and maybe it is the photo angle but the Marty had a long foredeck to her bow which give her a very fast turn of speed in those days.

She also had a white boot topping for as long as I remember.

The third view of the VICTOR, and the accompanying stern view showing on Dave's page, seem to show her in very delapidated, if not virtually derelict, condition. Had she foundered at some stage prior to that, I wonder?

Yes, I seem to remember that she sank whilst still on the Clyde. Can't find the details though at the moment.
