Believe the photinia was stag line out of north shields ......agreat bosun was a neighbour in south shields .....brian williams a company man ......sadly passed away about 9 or 10 years ago .....a giant of a man with a heart of gold ......much respected on crews out of shields .....it was always reported that the starboard side of the stag line vessels were given a touch of paint as coming into the tyne .....the office wallahs would say .....OH doesnt she look pretty ........lol cappyR683532

Until one day her regular berth was out of commission by the port authority...and she had to berth port side alongside. Oh dear! All those slings of rubbish, stacked dunnage, galley slops -with attendant squabbling dive-bombing seagulls ,'s**t chutes', cabin porthole vent cowls, bunker oil spillage stains, tug fender rubbing marks , the cadets dungarees flapping away on their temporary boat deck washing line ,flaking paintwork in assorted shades.....ROFL.gif.
It has happened.

Ref.Robert's post # 15.
That is a list of the ports visited when his father was on the ARISAIG; -Irlam(just up the MS Canal from Manchester)- Murmansk-Irlam-Almeria-Workington-Monrovia-Irlam.

Your pic is of a 1903 tug called IRLAM of 165 tons built by J.P.Rennoldson of South Shields.
I doubt whether she would have made it to the Bar LV-never mind Murmansk or Almeria ! (LOL)

Robert I am pretty sure that it could be the Arisaig registered in Greenock, every entry in my discharge books, I have three of them, has the ships name followed by the port of registry.
