This tug boat is a typical single hatch coaster that was used around the shores of the UK to support the coal trade. It is representative of the period of naval history that greatly utilised steam propulsion to help the UK’s growing economy and support the establishment of Britain’s global trade network. It is named after a small village in Wales. The boat was eventually scraped in 1959 in Dublin.
