Additional Particulars :

 Damage repairs carried out in 1900. A new tailshaft was fitted in April 1907, and again in April 1908. After nearly a decade of use, the Donkey Boilers appear to have been starting to “feel their age”. While the one on the port side still had a working pressure of 80 pounds per square inch, the working pressure of the starboard one had been reduced to 70 pounds per square inch. By 1911 the port boiler was also down to 70lbs working pressure, and both were replaced in this year.
The tailshaft continued to give trouble with a new ones being fitted in October 1913 and again in July 1916.

Completed January 1899; Official No. 142299: Code Letters JVSL
