    Childhood memories (1960s) travelling on the old car ferries across to South Shields. I remember we used to pass a line of the tugs at their moorings in the river.

    Fantastic old documentary and great to see the Ironsider and brief shot of Alnmouth before she too was sold off...both built by Richard Dunstan in Hessle. I spent many a weekend as a boy on Alnmouth with my Dad who was her engineer from new. Fond memories and hard working tugboatmen..

    My Dad worked on the tugs for many years, as a "Stoker" and Deckhand. We heard many tales of the "Joffre".

    Tugmen all share that ability to carp and moan but never miss a tide and that round the UK. The numbers decline but everyone proud men and few plucky lass's.
