A couple more images of a grand old lady. Comments appreciated.
First one is a comparison of the old and the new:
Second one is how she may have looked in her heyday:

Gee - she's a big muther.... Much bigger than the tugs you see today. She dwarfs that Cat...
The second pic is very convincing, but you might want to clone out the guy thats using a mobile phone on the deck to make it 100% authentic...
Not too sure about the photo corners... Too many unhappy memories of sticking photos in albums with them when I was small... bloody fiddley things...
Some nice shots...

#2 looks like it could be from the State Library. I like it a lot.
And in #1, you really get an idea of the size and grunt of the "Forceful" - those CityCats aren't small vessels.

Thank you all for the positive comments. Leek - don't be daft man, that's not a mobile phone he's holding - it's a sextant! (I'm sure Rear Admiral KillerKoala can verify..) Sorry for bringing back painful memories with photo corners!
I think in these photos, particularly the first one, it's obvious why she's named "Forceful". A strong name for a sturdy craft.

Hi Manta
Nice pics
I read somewhere some stats about how much coal these old ships use and the amounts are astounding.... hate to be a stoker....
