Old Trafford Tug in Ramsgate Harbour

Built in 1907 this tug was later (1951) renamed Reliant, I would guess this photo dates from the 1920s or 30s I'm not sure what connection she had with Ramsgate.

I am still reading The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro, it's a strange mixture of fantasy and history as it's set in England around 500 AD where there are dragons etc. I had a bit of a tec fight getting this blog to post and am very much looking forward to getting away from any sort of screen and back to a paper book. An average sort of shop day here at Michaels Bookshop in Ramsgate with the tec being difficult it's just as well we are not very busy.
