ST Cervia, Historic steam tug in Ramsgate, England
The ST Cervia measures 105 feet in length and features a 1,000 horsepower triple-expansion steam engine for maritime operations along British coasts.
Built in 1946 by Alexander Hall and Company in Aberdeen, this vessel participated in post-war commercial activities after its intended use in Operation Overlord.
The vessel received its name from an Italian coastal resort where the Watkins family, the original commercial owners, maintained their vacation property.
The tug performed numerous maritime rescue operations and commercial towing services between British ports and continental Europe until its retirement in 1983.
The steam engine design allowed rapid conversion between oil and coal fuel systems, demonstrating advanced engineering adaptability for maritime operations.
