Steam Tug William C Daldy

Lifeboat

The current lifeboat on the W C Daldy is merely there for show and is a lot smaller than the original, which was hung in davits on the starboard side of the tug. It was soon relocated to its current position and then later removed as it hindered towing operations.

Not the original lifeboat - original can be seen on the <a href=working_years.php>Working Years</a> page.”</p>
