Tucked away at the side of my photo of the TAMWORTH was a partial image of this tug.
When I reminded myself of her history it was to find she had a short and tragic career, so gains this separate entry.

HULLMAN (6727337), United Towing Ltd., 251gt, completed C.D.Holmes & Co., Beverley, 5- 1968
(Per Wikipedia: 27 November 1969 - The tug capsized and sank off Grimsby whilst towing Conoco Arrow ( Liberia), killing three of her ten crew.)
Fate per MN 12/1971:capsized and sank 23/10/71 about 100 miles from Hull in a position 53.01N, 2.30E after bring holed while attending a construction barge. Her crew was saved.
