Tugboat Ángela Comes 1930

 





Tugboat "Ángela Comes" Built in 1930 for the Trasmediterránea Company. This tug was built in the shipyards of the Unión Naval de Levante, in Valencia, being construction number 16 of the aforementioned shipyards. It was acquired by Compañía Trasmediterránea but after a short time it became the property of Compañía Valenciana de Remolcadores S.A. She had an important role in the refloating work of Captain Segarra, after he ran aground on the bottom of Los Cochinos (Cádiz), in April 1945.
