Thanks for this, Finbar!
If I can't find out which steam tug my ancestor drove? captained!!! I will use one of these photographs in my book as an example of what it will have looked like!
I have written to the holder of the website to ask advise of where/how to look too so that may yield some results!

Records kept as a result of the Merchant Shipping Act 1854 include names of the Masters of vessels. Records for Tynemouth (if his tug was registered there) would seem to come in BT108/73
There may be other records held at TNA to asist our research - have a browse through the other guides under Merchant Seamen

Yes! My Dad's 90th next November so, god willing (as the religious might say!) I will complete it for him with LOADS of detail by then!! We are planning a massive bash for it.
I will print out as much as a version as I can just now! He will be pleased to have all I have found out anyway.
Thanks for your assistance!
