Knocker White, Historic tugboat at Trinity Buoy Wharf, England

The Dutch-built Knocker White tugboat stretches 77.2 feet in length with a beam of 20 feet and depth of 9.6 feet at Trinity Buoy Wharf.

Built in 1924 by T. van Duivendijk in Lekkerkerk, Netherlands, the vessel operated under the name Cairnrock until 1960 when W. E. White & Sons acquired it.

The tugboat represents maritime industrial heritage as part of the National Register of Historic Ships, preserving Thames River maritime traditions.

Visitors can explore this preserved vessel at Trinity Buoy Wharf, where it stands as an educational example of early 20th-century maritime engineering.

The vessel features a drop-down funnel design that allowed navigation under Thames bridges, while its diesel engines replaced the original steam power system.
