Re: Firing up a steam tug.
Still see her in Southampton John, and remember standing on Culver cliff here on the Island, some 40 years ago, and watch her steam round in circles, some way off shore, and discharge her *cargo* directly into the sea. Glad that has been stopped now, Southamptons sh** dumped off the Isle of Wight, kt

The hull of the ship is of both riveted and welded construction.
