Solvay 100

Solvay 100, registration NY3068F, was built in 1930 at Choisy-le-Roi with a 30 hp Deutz engine.  The information on this page is obtained from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless otherwise indicated.

When Solvay sold her in 1973 after Danaiel Lepercq left she was converted to a houseboat and renamed Deriveur (Drifter).  She has since been scrapped.

This photo is interesting because you can see the engine's exhaust pipe exiting on the roof, behind the canopy, and the stovepipe that was located in the aft galley. Also visible on the roof is the sliding hatch that allowed access to the canopy.
