I first want to thank Gulliver for the link to the RSL website that he put in Mary Ann Gudeau post. Out of curiosity I followed the link and on there website found not only a photo of the Paris City, aground on a Spanish beach but also a photo of the tug Hercules that pulled her of the beach. The master of that tug at the time was my father so it was great to actually see his tug at work. I posted on there site as a guest with some updates regarding the salvage and the tug details.
Just goes to show how a thread can send you off in a voyage of discovery.
