Packed with fascinating images, this new work by experienced maritime author Ian Collard invites us to consider the well-loved tugs that help keep the UK merchant fleet afloat.
The book opens with a brief but insightful history of how tugs have evolved and developed over the past two centuries, starting with the 1802-built Charlotte Dundas.
What follows is a carefully curated series of annotated photographs that take the reader across the British Isles to view both contemporary and historic vessels.
