FLYING DOLPHIN (Tug of Clyde Shipping Company, Glasgow) Own Page
Ship's locationPassing Govan Wharf Watch House, Glasgow : sailing = outbound= heading west = towards GreenockPort of RegistryGlasgow

Tug FLYING DOLPHIN was heading downriver one minute ahead of Steel & Bennie's tug BRIGADIER which was towing the ore carrier ALDERSGATE downriver past Govan. Four minutes astern of ALDERSGATE was the Steel & Bennie tug CHIEFTAIN.

So, it is very likely that CHIEFTAIN was involved in the handling of ALDERSGATE and had dropped her tow, but it is unknown if FLYING DOLPHIN had any part in the operation.
