Hi Ron

I think this is Marsden as a houseboat! and yes she was at Hoo Marina for some time.

MARSDEN at Hoo Marina 22/06/2004. Photo taken by Ray Harrison. Ray thought that someone was starting to clean her up.

MARSDEN at Hoo Marina. Photo was posted on the "tugs for sale" site of http://www.apolloduck.com

Photo sent to me by Stephen Swinhoe on 17/11/2007 so she was still there then and looking a bit more presentable.

Re Mike's photo in the attractive shades of brown. I think you will find that this is ex DUNELM as PENDENNICK in the colours of Fowey Harbour Commissioners.

She was a slightly later version of a similar design. DUNELM by Richard Dunston in 1964 and MARSDEN by PK Harris in 1956.
