Two undated card photos of the Fish Quay, North Shields. If you look at the second photo i'm sure that's a young "magoonigal" taking notes (see red arrow).

Running through Dave's Tyne Tugs site, the candidates seem to be:

GAUNTLET (1869): http://www.tynetugs.co.uk/gauntlet1869.html
JAMES CONLEY (1864): http://www.tynetugs.co.uk/jamesconley1864.html
STANLEY (1868): http://www.tynetugs.co.uk/stanley1868.html

.... as the system allows only 8 URLS per message, the 4th one will be listed separately!!

Good detective work Ron. However 3 of those you mention had single cylinder engines and therefore likely to have had single boilers and single funnels. The exception is GAUNTLET and she has the added advantage of being a John Dry tug which would be a match for the funnel colours. Maybe? Could even be a Very Maybe?
