RusselBrothers built 38 Ville Class tugs for the Royal Canadian Navy during WWII many of these vessels served on both the West and East coastal waters.
After their service in the war many were sold for private enterprises.

Sine the hull is basically the same size on all these 38 Ville tugs I built one hull and made three different wheelhouses to represent three different tugboats currently operating in different locations of Canada.

Beamsville is owned and operated by Marcel Theriault working out of Tofino, B.C.

Loganville is owned and operated by Pete Spencer working out of Port Dover, on Lake Erie, Ontario, Canada

Miss Jenna is owned and operated by Kelley and Son working out of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada

I have had the privilege of meeting all three owners, photographing each vessel and sailing aboard the Beamsville in the Tofino Harbour.
