History

CHARLIGHT is a tug of steel construction with a Gardner diesel engine, built in Holland in 1936, to be used on the River Thames by Charrington Gardner & Locket, coal merchants. The vessel continued in this trade until 1973 before passing to various owners.

The vessel was purchased by her current owner in 2013 and has been restored to her original working condition.
