A poor image of the NESS POINT taking shelter at Scarborough 16.10.04. Looks to be a converted tug.

The name was used for the Lowestoft tug built in 1937 for LNER by Dunstons. Wonder if she has any Lowestoft connections.

Yes, was in Lowestoft for a while also Great Yarmouth and Cuxton on the Medway. Seems to have dropped off the radar since about 2005.
