History
Emma is a 22ft x 6ft teak built steam launch. Constructed c.1912. Emma is currently undergoing restoration at the NMMC with the hope to have her operating on the water in the future. Her overall construction is very robust and she has a wider beam than one would normally associate with a river or lake vessel. This makes her well suited for use on the relatively sheltered waters of the Fal estuary.
