Titan (steam tug 1894)
The ''Titan'' (later: ''Drente'') was a steam tug that was built in 1894 and worked for three Dutch tug companies until it was decommissioned in 1935.
==History==
At the yard, NV werf v/h Rijkee & Co. in Rotterdam, the ''Titan'' was launched on 13 August 1894. It was towed to Vlissingen where De Schelde installed the engine and boiler. In October the same year it was handed over to the company Zur Mühlen & Co., and put in service. The tug had an engine of a 1000hp and it could load 280 tonnes of coal, giving it a range of 7418 km. It was mainly active in the waters around northwest Europe, but also did assignments to the United States. In 1913 the ''Titan'', together with the ''Atlas'' of the same company, towed a dry dock from Texel in the Netherlands to Surabaya in the Dutch East Indies. She did work for the Royal Netherlands Navy as well as for the merchant navy, towing the ''Gelderland'' in 1900 and the ''Evertsen'' in 1905.〔 (Entry ), (1900 and 1905), bureau-wijsmuller.nl, retrieved 13 October 2015.〕
In the course of World War I Zur Mühlen got into difficulties and the company was liquidated in 1918-20. The ''Titan'' was sold to Smit International in 1919 and renamed ''Hudson''. Smit sold it to Bureau Wijsmuller later that same year and it was put in service as ''Drente''. For Wijsmuller the tug did much the same work as it did for its previous owners.
On 19 October 1935 the freighter ''Kerkplein'' called for assistance. The ''Drente'' responded and tried to take the ''Kerkplein'' in tow. The towing line broke three times and ended up in the propeller of the tug the third time. Both ships ran aground near Egmond aan Zee. Because of its age decommissioning was decided for the ''Drente'' and it was demolished on the beach.〔
