After being under conversion in Paraffin Creek since 2009, I see that she has moved to Paull on 28 May.
I think the blow-up tent had gone last time I passed her!

Paraffin Creek - Western end of William Wright Dock

Is this an historic name (nickname?) for this part of the dock?

No idea of origins, guess it must have had a paraffin connection (cargo?) at some time.
Likely that a creek entered the Humber at that point prior to WW Dock being built in late 1800's.

One of 33 Cartmel Class General Purpose Tenders.

CRICKLADE was built by C D Holmes, Beverley and entered Service in 1970.
143 tons Displacement.
Single Lister-Blackstone ERS-4-MGR diesel of 330hp giving a speed of 10.5 Knots.
Range 700 at 10 Kts.
Original Crew 6.
Could carry 25 tons of cargo and had limited towing capacity.
