COMMENT THIS PHOTO(4)
I suspect that SARAKOLÉ continued in service at Dakar with ETPD until the late 1960s. Compagnie Générale des Colonies was a subsidiary of the French banking group 'Paribas', and changed its name in 1958 to Compagnie Générale de Participation et d'Entreprises (CEGEPAR).

This tug was ordered on 12/03/1912 at Ablasserdamsche Machinenfabriek (Amblasserdam - The Netherlands) by Société Générale de Remorquage et de Travaux Maritime,Chambon et Cie (Marseille - France).She is delivered the 01/10/1912.Requisitioned by the French Navy from 1915 to 04/02/1919 as a minesweeper. Between 01/02/1915 and 03/10/1915, she participates in the evacuation of the Serbian Army to Corfu.
After the war, she resumes its towing work in Marseille until 29/05/1931, date of her sale to the Etablissements Bonnardeau (Oran). Hernew owner renamed it SS II the 10/06/1931.Between 1938 and 1951, she was sold to the Entreprise des Travaux du Port de Dakar (Dakar) and renamed Sarkolé.In Dakar, she was re-engined with a Deutz SA8M428 of 300 HP at 600 rpm (220 x 280 mm)which replaced the alternative machine and the original boiler developping 275 HP.
These are the elements of his career under the French flag.
