Thursday March 21 2024 5 ALL ABOARD: The Lyttelton tug has been used for harbour cruises since it was retired in 1971. Lyttelton’s long life well lived THE LYTTELTON steam tug has a 116-year-long history. Built in 1907 by the Ferguson Brothers firm in Glasgow, it came to Lyttelton via the newly completed Suez Canal. It served as the port’s main tug until World War 2. Initially called Canterbury, its name was changed to Lyttelton in 1911. The vessel drew massive crowds in 1913 when it tugged the battlecruiser HMS New Zealand into harbour, and again in 1920 when it assisted the battlecruiser HMS Renown, which was carrying King Edward VIII when The tug was built in Glasgow in 1907 and was initially called Canterbury. Below – boys from three children’s homes on a Christmas harbour cruise in 1970. he was Prince of Wales during his tour of New Zealand. In 1942, the tug was requisitioned for service and armed by the Royal New Zealand Navy. She returned to normal port service in 1944. Following the introduction of the new tug Canterbury, the tug was retired in 1971. A museum ship ever since, it was leased for $2 a year to the Tug Lyttelton Preservation Society. In 1989, the society was gifted full ownership of the tug by the Lyttelton Harbour Board. It has maintained it up to present day, moored at Z wharf. Tug society holds out hope for funding • From page 1 “We really don’t want to consider the fact we might not get the funding,” said Bruce. “We all believe we’re going to have a breakthrough moment.” The society is hopeful the tug will receive the necessary funding and refit within a year. A givealittle page has been set up to help crowdfund, but this has only brought in small sums to date. Bruce said the tug will need much larger grants to achieve its funding goal. Despite the challenges, it could be years until the society calls it quits on the tug as long as members stay passionate and keep up basic maintenance, said Bruce. The preservation society’s trained volunteers maintain the tug at weekly sessions, which Bruce said have a “phenomenal turnout”. The $300,000 refit is only the start of a long-term plan for a $1.5 million modernisation of the vessel. This would include a new rear canopy, visual aids and information for tour guests, and an interior renovation to make the tug more attractive for visitors.
