This image shows the Itchen Marine Towage company's pusher/tug Wyeknot motoring in the River Test Southampton alongside the (but not seen) preserved steamship SS Shieldhall. Shieldhall was returning to its berth in the Port's Western Docks after a trip to observe part of the 2023 Round the Island Race, when the captain announced that the ship had lost 1 of its 2 engines due to a feed pump failure. As a result (he said) Shieldhall would be less manoeuvrable and would require the assistance of a harbour tug to help with berthing. Hence the presence of Wyeknot in this image. The good news for the passengers the Captain said, would be an extra hour onboard Shieldhall at no extra cost! Shieldhall berthed successfully an hour later than scheduled and I was able to capture a number of images of Wyeknot (who I had never seen before) as we completed our excursion.
