Please have a look at his message placed accidently in Maersk Foreign ships:

Good evening all,

My name is Christopher Way. I am situated in Norfolk in the UK and as of July 2014 am the new owner of the above named tug, Liberte.

Excluding any posts already published about Liberte, does anybody have any additional information or photos of the ship when it was working - potentially people who may have worked on her or were previous owners? Ideally it would be great to discover new pictures and facts which were found during the war, when it was commandeered by the Dutch Royal Navy in 1938, and then by the Kreigsmarine.

Anything anybody has obtained over the years, would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Christopher Way
