Hi there everyone!
I am the proud owner of an ex-Admiralty Harbour Launch (Steam) that has been converted for use as a liveaboard.
Transmare was built in 1912 by the Rowhedge Ironworks and we (hubby and I) are seeking any information about our boat and any others of her type.
I have found (I think!) seven other boats of her type with Transmare being the oldest and Puffin (HSL256) being the oldest still in original condition.
As far as our research has revealed, Transmare's service number was either HL 174 or HL 175 (we cannot find the number for definite as her transom has been replaced).
http://transmare.dragonflyriver.com is my website about her and I am in the process of updating it as I have been in touch with the previous owner to the person we bought the boat from. I also have tho contact information for the owner previous to them.
Any photos/news/information about this type of boat would be much appreciated!
Thank you
Kathryn aka Boatbird
