The Joffre
was built in 1916 by Ardrossan Dry Dock & Shipbuilding Co. She
was owned throughout her career by Lawson-Batey Tugs Ltd. of Newcastle-on-Tyne,
England.
Specifically built
for the coastal towing business, her gross tonnage was 260T, with an engine
power of 1,140ihp, this was quite a high power for the ships of her day.
Fitted with two sets of towing hooks, an unusual feature for tugs of her
size, the aft one was used for towing lighters on the River Tyne.
Model
Specifications;
Plain GRP hull
with CNCx cut superstructure and deck, screen printed overlays and over
300 top quality cast white metal fittings, including ship's crew and a
dog. All the necessary timber, cordage and vacuum formed lifeboats
are supplied.
As the Joffre saw
service through two world wars, it gives scope for additional detailing
and a wartime paint scheme.
