SHEEN was built by John Chambers & Co. of Lowestoft in 1925. Originally a steam tug, she was converted to diesel in 1962.
She was owned and run by Tough Bros and was one of two tugs that gathered up small boats off the Thames for the Dunkirk evacuations during the Second World War. SHEEN also went over to the beaches and was filmed returning the little ships after the evacuation.
Still in working order, SHEEN is under private ownership with the aim of being restored to her former glory.
