She was powered by two Triple Expansion Engines and according to Lloyds they were Aft.
I had assumed her Dredge Pump was situated forward with its own Boiler, hence the funnel being forward......
But was the Main/Only Boiler Room situated forward and was steam supplied to the Dredge Pump then aft to her propulsion engines??? Seems a long way to run the Main Steam Main.
Should have paid more attention when she was being scrapped....
