Title: A steam tug towing a large sailing ship off the Surrey Docks.
Description: The unglamorous, but industrious little ships of London's tug fleet were the workhorses of the Thames. They provided a vital service, towing vessels in and out of the docks. They were also used to tow trains of dumb barges that were laden with goods up and down the river.
