Steam Capstan detail - by Emerson Walker Ltd of Gateshead

As installed on the Steam Tug "Flying Buzzard" built 1951 by Ferguson Bros, Port Glasgow.
There were very few Scottish manuafacturers of winches and windlasses, hence many Scottish builders used English ones.
Built for the tug in 1951at Ferguson Bros in Port Glasgow. Now restored to a demonstratable condition.

She was built in 1951 by Ferguson Brothers (Port Glasgow) Ltd for the Clyde Shipping Co Ltd.
They sold the vessel in 1963 to the Dundee Harbour Trust, who renamed her ‘Harecraig II’. In 1983 she was purchased for preservation at Maryport, Cumbria, and in 1986 was purchased by Maryport Town Council. The SMM has acquired the items, which had been removed from the vessel, in 2006, with a view to recreating the engine room of the ship.
The Clyde builders were noted for tug construction, and this was a late example of a powerful steam tug, by a recognised shipbuilder. A member of an important group of marine steam engines in the SMM.
Restored by volunteers Davy Spence & Tom Fields 2007.
