enclosed are the original plans for the ship from Scottish archives and another photo of her at sea

it isn't to the photo but the hull shape isn't a mount field or mobile marine one but is more freelance to make the boat like the photographs

Stephen how is your model different than the photo here?

Look closely, your model:
1) missing life rings, 2) missing the stove pipe from the galley, 3) it is missing the signaling arm off the mast, 4) steam whistle on the front of the stack, 5) arm on aft mast. You can see the rigging for the forward mast and stays for the stack.

These tugs were basically the same standing rigging. Yes, there are some differences as seen on the Joffre but my references were not for the superstructure but to answer your original questions about rigging plus any other items.

Deck features will be about the same too. It looks as though the builder of the model took liberties that can be seen when comparing the black and white photo of the original tugboat.

Enjoy your project.

Apparently the tug isn't one of mount fleet models model so have contacted mobile marine will get there eventually
