"that's the highland brigade, son" says dad, "she'll be bound for south america". the young lad makes no reply, his attention taken by a man in a white topped cap on that varnished bridge. a man who smiles and waves to him, before casually pulling the lever of a gleaming brass telegraph. the pair watch while the tug, aided by another astern with a black topped blue funnel guide the ship skilfully into the lock. the bridge closes, traffic flows again, and the pair, the boy with black smudged nose, walk to the bus stop and catch the 101 bus for home. yes, you've guessed, the boy was me and i was hooked. this fixation was reinforced just five years later when i, and probably most of the nation, clustered around the radio and scanned the newspapers, eager to learn about the latest heroics of captain dan parker and mate ken dancy of the tug turmoil, and the lone captain kurt carlsen aboard his ill-fated american freighter flying enterprise. the interest survived the teen years, despite discovering girls, and many notes were scribbled in grubby notebooks during the following years, details being gleaned from abc's of british tugs, sea breezes magazines, and anywhere and everywhere else the magic word 'tug' appeared. then came computers, and the contents of the note books were transferred to floppy discs and then cd's. retirement loomed and to keep the brain active i decided to try publishing a website. a steep learning curve followed but the frustrations and late nights have proved worthwhile, because of the tremendous support of you people out there. the site is now edited and published from my home in the medway towns, kent, and is entirely non-profit making and funded from my pension. many friends have been made via e-mails and the input from tugmen, past and present, and fellow enthusiasts have ensured the site did not become just a collection of boring statistics. many different facets of what could normally be a dangerous life emerged and i am in awe of the tugmen's exploits during two wars and at dunkirk in particular. a spin off has been enquiries from folk doing family history research and has led to interest in the riverside communities, especially gravesend, where many of the tugs listed on site were based. the roll call pages contain the names of nearly 600 earlier thames tugmen, many from gravesend and are dedicated to those lost at sea and on the rivers and also to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during wartime service. the site contains details of many of the river thames ship handling tugs operating between 1833 and 2008, and details the fleets of william watkins ltd (still my first love), gamecock, elliott, sun tugs, ship towage ltd., london tugs ltd., alexandra towing co. (london) ltd. howard smith [uk] ltd, adsteam [uk] ltd, svitzer [uk] ltd, kotug, tilbury dredging and the port of london authority. in later years the site has been extended to include details of tugs of the london lighterage industry [see lighterage section] and also has been extended to include some coverage of the wartime activities of tugmen in general, especially with regard to the towage of the mulberry harbour sections in 1944. my sincere thanks go to all who have provided support, encouragement, information and photographs. whilst it is perhaps not entirely fair to single out for particular mention a few from the many, an acknowledgement section appears below. if your name does not appear rest assured your contribution has been much valued and appreciated. i hope you find your visit to the thames tugs site informative and that you return again soon, as it is being constantly updated. if you have any questions about tugs or related subjects i am always willing to try and answer them, but a one hundred percent success rate cannot be guaranteed. please contact the site, via the site contact button in the top menu, if you have any information, stories or photographs to share, i am constantly amazed at the interesting messages and photographs people send me, and always eager to see more. all photographs are accepted in good faith, but if there is any accidental copyright infringement please contact me so that the mistake can be rectified. this site is committed to placing on record details of our maritime and social history, too much of which
