5.1876 The Chairman stated that
among other work in hand at the Company’s Dockyard, two new engines which had
been intended for steamboats were in a forward state, and could be completed
in the shop at a further expenditure of about £70 and that the hull of the steamer
Forward had been rebuilt and was now ready to receive one of
the new engines and wished the Committee to consider what had better be done
with these engines now that the Company will probably give up the carrying
business on the 30th June next.
The Committee directed that the engines be proceeded with and
completed so as to be saleable or ready to be turned to account in any other
way, but not to be fixed in the boats.
