Just been re-reading "The Bird of Dawning" where the two clippers are being towed towards London in the final stages of the China Tea Race, and it raised a query in my mind - is/was there a formula for how many tons of ship a tug of a given HP could be expected to tow?
Interesting point… have a look at these, you may or may not find what you’re looking for.
sincere regards.
