Not quite......

The 'Anglian Lady' was ex 'Nathalie Letzer'. Details below:

Built 1953 by J.I.Thornycroft & Co. Ltd., Woolston, Southampton

Previous Names:

1953 HAMPTUN Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. Ltd., Southampton, England (she was originally built as a ferry, I believe!)

1970 HAMPTUN Union de Remorquage et Sauvetage N.V., Antwerp.

1972 NATHALIE LETZER Union de Remorquage et Sauvetage, Antwerp.

1974 NATHALIE LETZER (1) Unie van Redding en Sleepdienst N.V,. Antwerp

1987 ANGLIAN LADY, Klyne Tugs Ltd., Lowestoft, Engeland.

1988 ANGLIAN LADY, J.W.Purvis Marine Ltd., Quebec, Canada.

The company Letzer built all of their tugs with that characteristic raised foc's'le. If you study their fleet and the ones taken over by Klyne you'll see subtle differences - but the profile is generally the same.
