History
Built in 1906 as a tender/galley to the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board steam yacht GALATEA by J P Rennoldson of South Shields. She was powered by four oarsmen. The GALATEA survived until 1958, when her tender was presented to the Merseyside Maritime Museum by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company. November 2007
