Eppleton Hall had a black hull all her working days, I rememvber
seeing her several times in the late forties early fifties and apart
from rust she was black as a midden! I cant recollect Any north
eastern tugs with a green hull (too girlie for our Tyne/Tees/Wear
tug skippers!) Remember, she had many alterations for her trip to
America, so dont rely too heavily on modern photos. This reply may
be long out of date, so my apologies! Walter Snowdon
