Cates tugs.
A.J. Hawker kindly provided me with a picture of a ship I was on, Salvesen’s “Salvada”. She was in a port and had a couple of tugs around her with the name “Cates” on them. Anyone have an idea of what port this may have been given the name on the tugs.

Re: Cates tugs.
i’m no too good at that’s Doc, maybe AJ can get it from the gallery. In looking at my picture library on my iPad, I noticed another ship I was on, Denholm’s “ Scotstoun” with the same tugs.
If you read this Peg, can you post the pictures please.

Low and behold, it’s there. I’ll try the other one now.

Re: Cates tugs.
Hi Duke
As Cates Tugs are situated in Vancouver Canada I am sure that it must have been some Port there will have to look around and see.
Cheers

Re: Cates tugs.
The Tugs will be hard to ID Duke as they are all (there are several) numbered names like Charles H Cates # 1 #2 #3 and so on.
If you look at this Link and open each PDF File in turn you will get Pictures of the Tugs ,
Cheers

You probably did Peg, I forgot. Thanks.

I was more interested in the location than the tugs, I was just using them as an identifier. Thanks Doc.
