Ok, proteus, seeing as you got the last one so easily- have a go with this one- and for an extra point tell me who built her...

Built for Capt. R.T. Dixon Name KARIAT

Built by Liquid Fuel Engineering Co. Ltd. at East Cowes I think

Spot on, again! One of my favourite launches- i've designed a full size launch based on her.

Here's another until you post a really difficult one no doubt!

Yes your right, French Bros, not Salters.

Heres another guys,

Proteus · « **Reply #21 on:** May 18, 2009, 12:27:11 pm »

Kittiwake ..

Built in Bowness-on-Windermere

Proteus

gondolier88 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 18, 2009, 06:08:12 pm »

Nope, not 'Kittiwake'- try 15' longer- built in bowness though yes. Can you tell me by who? Thought this one might perplex you a little bit

Also- 'Nuneham' was built for Salters Bros, however french bros. now run her on the thames.

gondolier88 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:27:15 pm »

Not stuck are we Proteus?

Clue- Built 1907 by Shephards of Bowness, sister ship of Swallow.
