The Portwey tug in West India dock
"PORTWEY is the only twin screw, coal fired steam tug now active in the United Kingdom and maybe even the Northern Hemisphere. Built by Harland and Wolff on the Clyde in 1927, she was first owned by the Portland and Weymouth Coaling Company (hence the name) and worked along the south coast of England, being based at Portland."
A dedicated band of enthusiasts preserve, maintain and run the Portwey. See Link
