Boasting the success of the Brēcæn Class, the Brēcænburg Scipwyrhta Intinga[1] (Hereafter: BSI) set out to fill a role for a heavy duty ocean capable tugboat in 1885. What resulted would be a vessel equipped with one of the earliest commercial triple expansion engines, producing an incredible amount of power for the time; This allowed the tug to complete all but the most extreme workloads, and was found to be an invaluable tool in the naval yards of Fȳrland.
The first of its class, Bēacen, was bought before its keel was even laid, by the Fȳrflota, or Fire Navy; As part of an order of 6, for use towing hulls to be fitted out across different yards. In total 18 would be constructed between 1887 and 1898, and many would continue to see service well past the mid 20th century.
Producing 1000ihp for a speed of 10 knots, the class of ocean tug proved to be very utilitarian to the many operators throughout its life.
