Tollman
The 1920 merger of several towing companies, mostly based around the Humber area, led to the formation of United Towing Ltd., who quickly established themselves as leading inshore, offshore and ocean-going tug operators.
Within a decade the expansion of the company led to an on-going 'new-build' programme, both to replace the existing tugs and to introduce new ones for the demand and growth of the fleet.... The Tollman was one of these 'specials'.
With the 'official' number of 162240, the Tollman was built in 1930 / 31 by Henry Scarr's of Hessle. Commissioned in latter 1931, with the fleet number 57, this medium sized, go-anywhere, do-anything tug served the company for more that thirty years.... From ship-handling to barge towing, the Tollman, with it's drop-down - swing-up funnel, was a regular sight on the tidal waters of the Humber / Trent / Ouse.
