Solvay 17, registration NY2287F, was built at Frouard in 1908.  In 1928 it was motorized with a 20 hp Deutz engine. All information on this page is obtained from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless stated otherwise.

When she was sold in the early 1960s she was renamed Michou, after a second sale in 1973 she became Chantal. It has since been scrapped.

Here she is (with close ups) in the bassin du commerce at Strasbourg:
