MOMENTUM and OSMIA

[northeast]

At Dave's request
Ridley's MOMENTUM (1922)inboard of Lawson-Batey's HOMER (1915), must be dated between 3/1954 and 1/1955 when MOMENTUM (ex DIANA)carried that name before becoming MARIE LAMEY.
Launch in foreground is OSMIA, do we have her details?

Thanks George

We have had a few of these launches posted on NEM but I don't think we have managed to identify any of them. I presume they belong to the TIC.

Just thought to search in the CLIP site

ON.149419
Built Stockton in 1918, 42 feet, 13 grt, wooden hull
Reg. 1926 at Newcastle and owned by TIC in MNL 1930 and 1940
Wonder if ex naval 1918-1926 hence unregistered. Steam pinnace?

Thanks George.

and why didn't I check there?

Thought the only Clips you got were round the lug-hole ....

To honest Dave, I think that's the first "Launch" that has actually appeared in the MNL.

And George HAS to be the one to find it................

My ingenuity and diligence are exceeded only by my modesty.

Two more photos of OSMIA have been sent to me by the man with no name. Photos are by John Johnson.

She was deleted from the register in 1941 but clearly still existed in 1954-1955 to coincide with MOMENTUM.
