Port broadside view of tug S.S. CARDIFF ROSE at Cardiff Docks.
Built 1914 by J P Rennoldson & Son, South Shields, as LADY DUNCANNON for Dover Harbour Board. Her twin screws were powered by two 2-cylinder steam engines built by Rennoldson. She served under the Admiralty during both World wars. 1958 – Sold to W.J.Guy & Son Ltd., Cardiff, and renamed CARDIFF ROSE. Her hull was holed by a tanker’s propellor as she was assisting the vessel out of Mountstuart Dry Dock on 30th March 1961. She was beached nearby and although repairs were made by Cardiff Pontoon Co., these turned out to be unsatisfactory and she was broken up by Haulbowline Industries, Passage West, Cork, later that year.
