Lady Edeline (1913)
Described by one commentator as "demure , aristocratic with superb manners" . The last of her class gently puttered and hissed her way around the harbour , never seeming hurried . Of course she was originally steam powered but later was driven by a slow - revving Crossley diesel quiet enough to justify an open engine pit so you could see , hear and smell .
She hadn't long to go when this was taken and very nearly survived - I miss her !
Well patronised in January 1984 , the wonky jackstaff added character ; they never did fix it .
