Great old picture of the tugs moored at the buoys off broads landing South Shileds.
The nearest tug is Impetus with I think Quaysider in the middle and with that tall radar Beamish on the far outside

That's an interesting one Kevin. I wonder what the Lauch was, must have been something big to call up all the Tugs.
