The model on the right is the tug "Salisbury" which was acquired circa 1982.
On the left is a Paddler [paddle steamer] "Lonan" is on the bows.
Not quite sure how this vessel fits into LTC history as paddlers were almost extinct when the company started up in the 1970s ... although speaking historically, paddlers were used on "packet" services - the St.George, wrecked on Conister Ilse in 1830 is depicted as a paddler on the "lifeboat memorial" in the memorial garden on the promenade.
