Eldergarth



Built in 1981 by Mactay's of Birkenhead, the ELDERGARTH, the first of 5 new ASD tugs, entered service in October of that year, followed, in November, by her sistership the ROWANGARTH.

From November 1982 through to the summer of 1999 both boats divided their on-station time between the River Mersey and Cabinda, Africa.

At present, the ROWAN is on-station on the Tyne, whilst the ELDER, renamed the SHANNON, is stationed on the Clyde.

The model Hull and full size plan, together with the Template Pack makes this boat perhaps the Best Ever model produced for Tug-Towing.

With just minor alterations to the superstructure the tugs YEWGARTH and OAKGARTH (still serving on the Mersey), can also be built.
