History

SAMMY is a tug of steel construction built in 1955. She is powered by a Caterpillar C3412 diesel engine. Her first use was as a US army vessel, having been built in the USA.  At some time she was based in Ireland and named the Whiskey Warrior. 

In 1969 the vessel was undergoing specification for temporary activation and long term preservation in Hythe, Southampton under the eye of the resident naval overseer.

The vessel is now privately owned, based in London and used as a liveaboard.
