Talk:Laxey Towing Company

Don't delete
I believe that the article concerning the Laxey Towing Company is relevant, and would therefore advocate its inclusion on Wikipedia for several reasons (not withstanding the time it has taken me to compile it!). The company is notable as it links to various other topics within Wikipedia, notably those concerning serveral Isle of Man Steam Packet vessels, namely TSS Manxman (1955) - related article, MV Free Enterprise (1966) - related article and also Manx Line, where the Laxey Towing Company was the only locally-based company equipped to assist, and thereby avert a potential disaster, when the Manxline linkspan broke free in Douglas Harbour in January, 1978 - related article. In addition, the Laxey Towing Company played a significant role in the salvage, upkeep and eventual dismantlement of the Solway Harvester (related article) and also as the operator of the coastal cruising vessel, ]MV Karina (again, related article) and also its operations in the development of Douglas Harbour (related article) I would therefore argue that the Laxey Towing Company forms a 'common denominator' concerning these other related articles and over time it is my intention to enhance the article as I undertake further research into its operations past and present. Notwithstanding, I would argue that the retention of the article forms the basis for marine salvage operations from the Isle of Man, as the Laxey Towing Company is the only company based on the Isle of Man to be able to carry out such an undertaking.
