Tug tales from WW2

Bustler Class Rescue Tugs: in War & Peace, by RO Neish

In his second work featured on these pages this year, R.O. Neish sheds light on the small but significant job performed by rescue tugs and their skilled crews during the Second World War. This very detailed account focuses particularly on the eight Bustler Class tugs built at the Henry Robb Shipyard.

The book gives an extensive account of the career of each tug, and includes images on almost every page to bring these stories to life. There are plenty of personal recollections from those who served onboard, which will be of interest to wartime history buffs. Also included are full vessel details/technical specifications.
