Photographed in 1981, at which time the two ports were still separate Ports of Registry.

I hadn't realised that the tugs were split in this way, as well as the towns! A nice memento of their history.

I think it was done to keep the POR's alive as much as for anything else.
Originally there were Four Twin Screw Tugs built by P K Harris and Son's Ltd for the British Transport Docks Board in 1958/59.
Hart; Seaton; Stranton and Throston.
Certainly the first three were registered in WEST HARTLEPOOL and I assume Throston was as well. My nearest Register to 58/59 is 1963 and THROSTON is not listed.
So Hart had her registry Changed at some point.

THROSTON was an early sale, in 1961 when she went to Pakistan as TAQATWAR.

Albert Weller caught the HART in her younger days, then also registered in Hartlepool:
