Comments: Another of the HSTMI&P TID-type tugs, the DAGGER (54 gt, by the same builder as KIERO in 1944 as TID 79) is seen here assisting the ARCTIC INVADER-51, (H360: ID. no: 5502240) inbound from northern fishing grounds in April, 1964. This was during the hey-day of the British fishing fleet, before the "troubles" with Iceland and the resulting Cod Wars. The bows of Charleson-Smith Trawler's  STELLA ANTARES-55 (H123, ID no: 1183439; 661 gt, built 1950-06 by Cook Welton & Gemmell as the ALAMEIN for Hull Merchant's Amalgamated Trawlers Ltd., Hull ) can be seen to the left. TID 79 became J. H. Piggott & Son's HILLMAN in 1946, capsizing and sinking while towing a trawler into Grimsby Fish Docks during October, 1954. She was refloated, repaired and sold shortly thereafter. At an unknown date, post April 1964, she was sold to M.N.S. Fishing Ltd., Newhaven, after which there was no further trace. ARCTIC INVADER was broken up at Antwerp in August, 1966 and STELLA ANTARES on the Tyne in September, 1968.
