The Tug Boats \u2018Shackleton\u2019 and \u2018Beaufort\u2019, are named after two remarkable patrons of exploration. Ernest Shackleton, born in Athy Co. Kildare, was a fearless explorer whose legacy as the world\u2019s greatest exploration leader will live on as an inspiration to pioneers for centuries to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Francis Beaufort, who hailed from Navan, was a tireless innovator who created the scale of measurement for wind force which is now world-renowned, and is used by the 15,000 vessel arrival and departures in Dublin Port every year.<\/p>\n\n\n
