'Meteor' - ship working out of South Wales

[Greensleeves]

A friend of mine has a pair of  lamps - port and starboard - which he bought from a chandler in Penarth, South Wales in the late 1990s.  He knows that the name of the boat or ship they came from was Meteor and he thinks it might have been a tug but isn't sure. He's assuming the vessel was working out of one of the south Wales ports such as Newport, Penarth, Cardiff or Barry. Has anyone got any bright ideas where he would be likely to find details of vessels sailing out of these ports?

You need to look in Lloyd's Register, say from 1985-1999, to see if you can find a vessel with the name METEOR. Thinking she was a Tug and assuming she working out of South Wales Ports may compromise your research. There may be more than one vessel with that name.
I don't know where you are located but here is a list of libraries where LR can be obtained. Not all will have copies for the years in question.

As far as I am aware no on line copies exist for the time scale. If you do find copies please let me know.

I vaguely remember a tug from Greenock named Meteor
