Imara
A model of the Imara (Sanskrit for "powerful"), the original was built by Fleming & Ferguson of Paisley, Scotland. She is a Twin Screw Steam boat, one of the last coal fired triple expansion steam tugs. In 1940 she was purchased by the Royal Navy and renamed Perseverance. She then worked out of the Portsmouth Navy Yard in England.
Beside her is a model of a coal carrier.
