40Ft Tug Beamsville:

This classic tug was built by Russel Bros - Ontario, to the Canadian Navy Standards. The keel was laid in 1943 and the hull mothballed until 1960 when the vessel was finally completed and commissioned. She served as a harbor tug in Esquimalt British Columbia until the late 1990's, and during this time, she was maintained to Navy Standards. More on the Beamsville at www.onelink.ca/beamsville.
