Canning
Often (mistakenly) referred to as the last British steam tug, the single screw CANNING was built, on the Humber by Cochrans, for the Alexandra Towing Co. of Liverpool during the late 50s.
Though she was most definitely not the last steam tug to be built in Britain, that went to another tug in the 70s, she was built at a time that is now commonly known as... the end of the steam era.
Having a modern looking wheelhouse and bridge wings the design of the Canning and her contemporaries paved the way for the more familiar diesel tugs of the 60s and 70s, and possibly through to the mid 80s.
No scrapyard, or 'sold-abroad' for the CANNING, for after her long career accumulating in the South Wales ports, this lucky boat was retired into Swansea Maritime Museum where she is on permanent display.
