St Canute

This steam tug was built in 1931 at the Frederikshavn Shipyard in Denmark and sailed for many years as a tugboat, icebreaker and fire-fighter in the Odense harbour under her original name St. Knud. She was purchased in 1960 by the Fowey Harbour Commission as a working boat. Later, and still with a working steam engine, she was on display at the Exeter Maritime Museum; unfortunately that closed in 1996. If you know her fate after that please email me!
