This is a tug with a history. She started life as HMCS Glencove, one of 16 Glen-class steel-hulled tugs built for the Navy during World War Two. She was commissioned in 1944 from a yard in Owen Sound, Ontario, and was declared surplus by the Navy in 1946. She's changed hands a few times since, and, like a lot of us from Ontario, has ended up here on the Coast.
And while she may be old, I think she's still very pretty!
I understand the Glen Rover is for sale if you have about $720,000.

She is bright and colourful, a pleasure to see!
It's good to see that some things are still built to last. I hope she finds a new owner!
She's a classic. Three quarters of million bucks is only the beginning. She'd cost a packet each year to maintain.
Nice to see old boats are still around, love the bright colors.
Drat! Just a tad beyond this year's boat budget. . .is that in Canadian dollars? What a beauty!
0Great colours to be seen at sea. On;y $720,000? Let me check my pocket change.
Hmmm. I see my fingers have been creative. Hope you can read my last comment. Sorry. (Naughty fingers!)
Escaping our cold Ontario winters is she?
Love the bright colors on this boat. Being a guy who lives so far inland I am always fascinated by large waterborne vessels.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I'd love to have you visit anytime.
