That's a fine view Dave.
KING AEGEUS or KING THESEUS 1956/57 fitting out behind her. The tug will be STEEL?
I have only this b&w of her in some unknown port.

George, going by the black funnels on the tug, I had assumed that it was Blyth Shipbuilding & DD in the background

edit ... sorry Dave did not read your properly .... mine amended now!

The tug does looks like the Steel, and worked in Blyth until May 1958.

And the CORBURN??? in the background.

Yes, indeed the CORBURN. There is another shot taken just before this one where the name is clearly displayed.
