The design looks unusual as it is designed to go in two different directions. Lighters carrying grain were (are still?) taken up to Selby and then picked up steel on the return journey for onward travel to the States. It was made especially for Lighter Aboard SHip (LASH) barges - which are small unpowered barges that are loaded onto a larger mothership for ocean crossings. Lashette is a tug based on the Humber Estuary on the east coast of the UK. The sound was speeded up a little to make it a little more immediate at full speed. The engine sound is actually it's sister tug 'Shovette' (12 tonne bollard pull), and was recorded while making 8 mph through the water. I'm not really sure about any other specifications, so I guessed: 68 feet long, 20 feet wide.

Owned by Deans Tugs of Hull, she has a bollard pull of 10 tonnes, using twin Schottle drive.
