Going about her business (Circa 1967)

Have always been curious as to how she got this name, not obvious how it fits in with the other SIDERs.

Maybe the owner liked a certain South west brew?

Well then why not APPLESIDER?

"The new tug was christened and launched at Hessle on 4th April 1962 by Mrs Ida Redhead, sister of J. F. Batey. The vessel was named APPELSIDER. Why or how this enigmatic name was chosen for her has not been discovered with certainty, but Sir Edward Elgar would have approved of the choice. Was it a deliberate play on the words "Apple Cider"? If so, was the spelling deliberate or a mistake not noticed until it was too late? Was a painter at the Dunston yard sacked about this time?! Whatever the intention nobody now, thirty years later, knows the reason nor will admit to knowing. It seems most likely that it was a deliberate play on the words "Apple Cider" following on from the previous naming within the grour of ROUGHSIDER itself a distorted reference to "Rough Cider".

Thanks Paul ... how dare anyone suggest that a name painter should give a ship a false name (there was once a HMS WHITLEY that should have been WHITBY!). But in the context of ROUGHSIDER, I would have thought the intention was that she would be APPLESIDER, and we should put the blame on the Hessle (or should that be Hessel) name painter, God bless him! Perhaps we should be grateful that she was not followed by PAIRSIDER.

...or ROSIE

My granddaughter is called ROSIE
Wouldn't have it any other way
Another 15 years and I can buy her a cider

So, you'll be able to watch the movie Cider With Rosie, ...with Rosie. Good movie as I remember.
