Duchess + Barge B1001.
I do not normally post two images of the same vessel captured during the same photo-shoot to the Myshipimages Web site but have made an exception here because of the way the direction of the light has impacted on the photograph. In this image, captured in February 2022 from the Moat Wall of Calshot Castle, The Tug Duchess and her barge B1001, are travelling up Southampton Water heading in the direction of the Port and are side-lit with strong sunlight again coming across the Solent and up Southampton Water from an Easterly direction. Duchess was built in 2021, has a Gross Tonnage of 193 Tons and is Registered in the United Kingdom (Jersey). I suspect that Duchess and at least one other Tug not normally based in Southampton are involved in a significant dredging programme in the Port.
