Sun XXI help?

<< < (3/3)

Jonty:
How similar is Sun XXIII (now Suncrest) to Sun XXI? Because that is moored at Trinity Buoy Wharf, a short walk from East India station on the DLR.

dodes:
She was different because of 1/ She was built by Pollocks of Faversham if my memory was right and 19 to 22 were built by Phillips of Dartmouth. 2/ she is smaller with a more compact bridge with a big rudder for working the upper London docks with smaller locks and kept at Wapping. 3/ The afore mention were built as ship handling tugs for estuary and upper London docks and were kept at Gravesend on their own moorings.

dodes:
Sun 23 on trials

dodes:
