The
S.S. Furie, the last steam operated seagoing tug in the
Netherlands. Launched in 1916 at a shipyard in the province
of Groningen, she worked until the late 70s for the paper
industry in Sweden. She was then purchased for a role in the
now legendary television series ‘Hollands Glorie’ based on
the book by Jan de Hartog. She was purchased in 1978 by the
foundation Hollands Glorie in Maassluis, since when she
sails once again under the Dutch flag.
