This page is dedicated to the working companions of the tug. She worked with many other finely built craft during her 41 years of service, some of them still afloat. This page has been specifically developed so you can see them in action. My favourite was the Aucklander! (Ironically now in Wellington)

Steam Tug Lyttelton

Posted in General News, Running Mates, Steam Tug Lyttelton on May 2nd, 2008 by Webmaster

The Tug ‘Lyttelton’ Preservation Society is a non-profit organisation whose aims and objects are to restore and maintain the vintage steam Tug ‘Lyttelton’ in working order, to promote public interest in the vessel and make it possible for passengers to travel on it by means of public cruises and chartered voyages.
The tug Lyttelton and her engines were built in Scotland in 1907 by Fergusson brothers Ltd. of Glasgow, and was sailed out to Lyttelton through the Suez canal which had only recently been opened.
