"Fairweather" in Dundee Harbour - Ref: WC0822
This photograph by Alexander Wilson shows the tug "Fairweather" towing an unidentified brig-rigged sailing ship into the Tidal Harbour of Dundee at the approach to the King William Dock (one of three in the city at that time).
The "Fairweather", a wooden paddle steam tug, is listed in the Dundee Yearbook of 1888 as having been sold to an Aberdeen company that year.
May 1888 was a busy year for the harbour. As well as three large jute carriers arriving on the 19th, three smaller ships had brought flax and timber from Riga and other Baltic ports.
