Solvay 2, registration NY2280F, was built in 1904 at Frouard. She was originally unpowered but had a 20 hp Deutz engine added in 1928. All information except where indicated is from Vagus-Vagrant.fr.
She was sold in 1964 to become a liveaboard under the name JM2 and re-registered to P16213F. She is currently moored at Pontoise which is on the Oise in northern Paris.
Photo from the late 1950s, in the port of Dombasle, the Solvay 2 is the one whose bow is visible (I can't make out the number of the other one):
This photograph shows one of the first bouteurs (front rudder) placed on a Solvay:
This picture is unsourced and it is clearly very early judging by the lack of the word 'Solvay' on the bows.
