Appledore tugs on show in London

These Appledore-built tugs ‘Prestwick’ and ‘George V’ were ‘on inspection at Tower Pier, London, last week, built for exclusive use on the Thames. Up to 100 tug owners from leading British and some Continental ports came to appraise the new design of these vessels and Mr Gordon Harris, director and manager of Messrs. P.K. Harris and Sons, Appledore, hoped to have good news shortly of further orders.
