Meet John Angus, a member since Feb 2009. John has a fine looking tug called the “Lady Of Dover”. It’s our hope that we will see John and the Lady Of Dover at one of this years’ events. John has sent us some pictures for your veiwing, along with details of the tug. We thank Captain Angus for taking an interest in Tugfest and sending the pictures for you all to see.
Built in 1943 by George Gamble in Port Dover as a Great Lakes Fishing Tug. Original name SHARILYN II. In the mid 1990s she was purchased by Terry Hagen of Port Dover and rebuilt in the form you see her in now. At this time she was re-named LADY of DOVER.
