    It looks a bit different in the science museum, having been considerably modified over its lifetime, and it's been there since 1862. I think this may be a replica.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    According to wiki it's probably the earliest replica as found in this London & Northwestern postcard.

    Buster Keaton's 1923 replica for the film 'Our Hospitality' in action (edited bits) - youtu.be/gGfShmBnMTs . The tender has only three panels. Grab your popcorn ...

    This is a replica built in the 1920's (1929 I think)? Another working replica was built in 1979. www.nrm.org.uk/OurCollection/LocomotivesAndRollingStock/C...

    Turbina famously crashed the party at the 1897 naval review demonstrating the speed possible with turbine engines. See www.btinternet.com/~philipr/Parsons.htm

    Shows what a remarkable vessel she was- not many boats that sustained that much damage at that time in history would have been repaired.
  • FrigateRN said:
