Default Tall Ship: Empirre Sandy


Hi Andre,

An amazing transformation from a war time ocean going tug which started life
in the service of the Ministry of War Transport.

I vividly recall her sister, Empire John, (same dimensions, same shipyard,
same year 1943) which was the harbour tug owned by DOSCO at Sydney, Nova
Scotia in the 1960s. Every time my ship (Charlton Mira) docked at Sydney it
was Empire John which assisted. Empire John was scrapped in Spain approx
1967.

Regards,
Tuppence
