William Watkins [ [http://www.thamestugs.co.uk www.thamestugs.co.uk ] ] was just 14 years old when one of the first tug owning companies in the world and based on the River Thames in London was named after him. The business, from humble beginnings with just one tug was soon to expand. One of the more notable feats was the towing home of Cleopatra's Needle.
