This is a small video capturing the steam tug challenge, the only surviving thames based steam tug left in uk, manoeuvring into position to load at a dock on the river medway. This steam tug was built in 1931 in Aberdeen and worked on the River Thames ferrying other ships within the ports. She was one of the Dunkirk little ships and was involved in rescuing troops and towing other stranded ships, even a destroyer!
Challenge has since been based on the river medway where she takes part in various event around the country including the Queenborough boat festival and occasionally travels with the steam vessel Waverley.
This is a short clip of her moving backwards and reversing one evening on the River Medway.
If you would like to volunteer with the helping restore parts and undertake maintenance on here please take a look at their Facebook page: Friends of the steam tug challenge for more information.
