Posted on the Facebook page of the steam tug Challenge :

"After searching the country for a suitable berth for Challenge Hull has been chosen as the perfect home for her.
More specifically Hull Marina, We have been welcomed with open arms here and look forward to Challenge being once more open to the public as she should be.
The marina is a vibrant area of the city and benefits from many bars and restaurants nearby. I think this could be the boost we have been waiting for.
She will remain a fully working vessel and we will have steaming days when the engine will be running. Hopefully she will be able to attend various events like the Dunkirk trip in 2020 and others.
Obviously for this to happen we will need volunteers to help run and maintain her so if you would like to get involved please contact us by the contact page or via Facebook to register your interest.
We shall need all skills, Crew, Engineers, Admin, etc .
There will be much more information coming soon so please keep an eye out for developments."

Could be interesting even though she has no local connections that I'm aware of.

Will your yacht skipper cert be OK for her, Patrick

As seen more recently: Southampton - 9 June 2017: Ron

A few more of her at Southampton,the position she is in makes stern views difficult to get.

Further from FB

"I've just heard the Challenge's new home will be back on the River Thames and not Hull. I know a lot of people will be disappointed in Hull but I think that London is the best place for her. She will be berthed at the Trinity Buoy Wharf. She will sail round in June next year and attend the Ramsgate Historic Festival on the way."

But still at Southampton - 12 June 2022: Ron M

Left a few days ago, now at Rochester.

I thought I read somewhere she was on the move (at last?)
