Here is David Asprey's summary of her career from Tugtalk ... a little while back

ADDIE (ON 136150) was built in 1915 by Isaac J Abdela & Mitchell at Brimscombe on the Stroudwater Canal, Gloucestershire for Capt Robert C Jones of Swansea. She was 44grt 8nrt 64.8 x 13.0 x 7.7ft with a 200ihp steam engine.

Built for service in the upper Severn Estuary and into the Sharpness Canal to Gloucester, she spent 18 months on Naval service in the area at the end of WW1. I think that it was in 1943 that she was sold to the Sharpness New Docks & Gloucester & Birmingham Navigation Co, Gloucester. (re-engined to diesel at this time?)

When that company was nationalised in 1948 she passed to the British Waterways Board and continued in service on the Canal and further north on the Severn until the 1960s when she was sold to C H Taplin for private use at Malvern. Renamed 'Tugaddie' at this time?

Nigel Matten of Stourbridge bought her in 1987 - after many years restoration she set off for Menorca in 1999 via Gloucester Docks.
