Built in 1956 by Hepworth Shipbuilders, Paull as a barge and named Frederick Oldridge.
Bought in 1993 by J. Dean who chopped it in two and made the aft end into a push tug.

Ta, Kevin.
I knew she had been "Cut-Down" from something else, and something was telling me it was the Old Water Boat Harcuss, but I was wrong.

Also here on 18/07/2004 alongside Devlin's berth .... now in Svitzer beige? Surely one of the most unusual in their fleet!
