Untitled[edit]

The company is almost certainly "France Fenwick Tyne and Wear", not "...Wear and Tyne". See for example the piece of letterhead here: http://www.searlecanada.org/sunderland/sunderland163.html. 64.81.73.35 (talk) 17:53, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Engines? or photos?[edit]

As one of the most historically significant features of this boat are its engines, can we please get some details and ideally photos of them?

They're clearly side-levers, but they're also regularly described as being grasshoppers. This seems to be a simple confusion in terminology (grasshopper levers were well obsolete by this age), but it would be good to clear it up. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:42, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had thought so too, but it transpires that they are in fact "grasshopper" type (I questioned this, but have confirmation from the Curator of the EH in San Francisco). And there were certainly others of the type being installed in British paddle tugs in the early decades of the 20th century. Davidships (talk) 03:09, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tugboat or Private Yacht?[edit]

Before being bought by the Americans, Eppleton Hall was registered as a Tugboat. After she was bought, she was registered as a Private Yacht to avoid the UK Board of Trade. So the questions is: "Is Eppleton Hall a Tugboat or a Private Yacht?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arsenal Pro 1975 (talk • contribs) 13:03, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
