Tug boats: Unsung Heroes of the Sea: From Sir John Hunter's Bulk Carrier Container Ship built at Swan Hunter Shipbuilders Ltd, to the historic meeting of the Empress of Britain and tug boats in 1936, these powerful vessels have played a crucial role in maritime history. Witness their strength as they tow the RMS Carinthia through the Corinth Canal in Southern Europe, guide the Bergen line ship Astrea out of the Tyne in England, and assist the Pilot Tugs at Port Said. Their importance is evident in the bustling waters of New York and in the historic meeting of the Sir John Hunter with unknown vessels in the open sea. These unsung heroes, like the sunset in 'Back to the Clyde - Sunset' painting, add beauty and necessity to the maritime world.
