Good point BR_Reef, those escape windows certainly weren’t designed with the dimensions of the average tuggie in mind either!

Note there is no wheelhouse door, in an emergency you were expected to kick out one of the windows.

Thanks for the info's Captain Tugwash. 👍

The visibility is excellent, I should add. I’m told this is because tug crews were consulted extensively during build.

Hi Matt, there is a photo of her identical sister’s wheelhouse here:

It is indeed quite cosy but being old straightforward tugs there’s not much in there. Everything is on the central console or mounted above on the deckhead.

That's quite a narrow/tall bridge for a tug. Interesting design. I'll wager it's fairly cosy in there, compact & bijou, as the fancy folk call it.
