1970 Tyne Towage Ltd, Hebburn
1991 Survey & Supply, Grimsby
1996 Broken up
Comments: Broken up by D Cook at New Holland
There is some debate about the validity of the above data
It is possible that she was previously called CAPT JAMES COOK II
The CAPT JAMES COOK II may then have become CAPT JAMES COOK
Photos of the CAPT JAMES COOK stopped just prior to photos of the CHERRY appearing
They all existed on the Tees & the hull forms and wheelhouse are very similar
If this is the case then the start date for service with Tyne Towage is probably 1986/7
