A destroyer with flags flying on its way to Gloucester. It is being pulled by a tug boat through Fretherne Bridge.
Tony Ashby
The year of this event is believed to be 1958, when the Royal Naval Reserve coastal minesweeper HMS VENTURER (M1117) transitted the Canal to mark the opening of a new RNR Communications Centre in Gloucester. The towing vessel is the world's oldest surviving steam tug MAYFLOWER, built in Bristol in 1861 and preserved there today as a working museum vessel offering public trips.
