Newhaven tugs Foremost 22 and Tidworth at Newhaven's Railway Quay. This would have been summer 1960, as both tugs were awaiting disposal after the arrival of the then brand-new Meeching.
Good to see this pic,it brought back memories of happy hours as ateenager watching both these tugs at work,albeit loking a bit smarter then in the mid 50's
As a child I had the wonderful experience of traveling on the old formost while she towed the oil barge over to the ss Londres. I was sat in the engine room (courtesy of Chief H.Cotterel. great watching that tripple ex in motion. think thats what encouraged me into engine rooms later in life.
