House Clearance Scotland – Antique Vintage Photographs

Built at the Fairfield Yard at Govan at a cost of about £1.5 million. The ship’s twin screws were driven by Parsons’ single-reduction geared turbines. Six Yarrow oil-fired water tube boilers supplied steam at 425 lb/psi and 725 degrees superheat. The main engines developed 30,000 shp on five boilers (leaving one in reserve) for a normal service speed of 21 knots.
