I actually worked for Cherry Marine and went to Rotterdam to purchase this vessel. I was a deckhand at the time which later I skippered this Tug at 18 years old. I can remember every room of the ship and have fond memories. The company paid around £67,000 for this Tug which at that time was a lot of money. We were all amazed of how well kept this Tug boat was. We sailed it back to the Tees from Rotterdam where it then served further years taking crew & supplies to ships in the bay.

The tug Poul Benzon and her sister Cornelis vd Lee are builded at the Verolme Yard Alblasserdam.
Not at vd Giessen de Noord....vd Giessen de Noord was NOT a friend of the Verolme concern!!!!
