96 Gross. Steam Engine by Plenty and Sons. Speed 10 knots.

RELIANT Ex- OLD TRAFFORD.
J T Eltringham & Co, Stone Quay 1907.

Checking out the dates they were at Seaham, the picture must have been taken between 1964 and 1967, so March 1966 fits that time span. Full details for the second two are on Dave's Site.

Posted: Sat Sep 01, 2018 6:08 amI know it was then still busy as a coal port but seems surprising that they could justify running 3 tugs, maybe one was always a reserve? Did the tugs connect outside the piers, or were they just for in-dock movements?
