Story

This tug was built in 1969 by John Manly Ltd. in New Westminster, BC.

Historical Notes

Lonnie Edward Berrow (British Columbia Nautical History Facebook Group 30/07/2017) states "These were great little yarding tugs built by Manly S/Y with pod bottoms and steering nozzles.

They were really just a large dozer boat, very stable and could easily be beached on any flat shoreline for repairs."
