Tugaddie, River Severn 1982

            'Tugaddie' between Upton & Kempsey, River Severn 11 June 1982.

Addie is a tug of steel plate construction with twin Sabre Marine diesel engines. She was built in 1915 by Isaac Abdela and Mitchell of Brimscombe Port Gloucester.

The vessel worked as a Bristol Channel tug until 1947. Then bought by British Waterways and worked until 1968 when she was sold out of service to a private buyer. Addie eventually fell into disrepair but was later brought back to fair condition with the intenion to restore her further and cruise UK and continental waters. She had special links with the Sharpness and Gloucester Waterways where she spent all her working life.

A tug 'Addie' was involved in the Severn (Rail) Bridge Disaster of October 1960 - is this the same vessel?
