Port broadside view of tug S.S. CARDIFF ROSE at Cardiff Docks.

The 181 gross ton steam tug Cardiff Rose in the West Bute Dock, c. 1959. Built at South Shields in 1914 as Lady Duncannon for the Dover Harbour Board, she came to Cardiff in 1958 when she was purchased by I. C. Guy & Co. of Cardiff. This firm went into voluntary liquidation in 1963 when most of its local interests were taken over by R. & J. H. Rea of London.
