Eppleton Hall, Restored paddle tugboat at Hyde Street Pier, San Francisco, United States
The Eppleton Hall features twin steam-powered paddle wheels and side-lever engines that generate 500 horsepower for maneuvering large vessels.
Built in 1914 by Hepple and Company in South Shields, England, this tugboat served for 50 years towing coal ships along the River Tyne.
The vessel bears the name of the Lambton family estate, reflecting the strong connection between British maritime industry and coal mining enterprises.
Located at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, visitors can observe the tugboat's exterior structure from the Hyde Street Pier.
This vessel stands as the last remaining intact River Tyne paddle tug and completed a transatlantic journey from England to San Francisco in 1970.
