Solvay 22

Solvay 22, registration NY2213F, was built in 1909 at Frouard. She was originally unpowered but was fitted with a 20 hp Deutz engine in 1920.  All information on this page is taken from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless otherwise stated.

Solvay 22 was sold around 1963 to a Solvay bargee, F. Daniel, who named it "Dani-Rose" (the beginning of his two daughters' first names). He modernized it by adding a deckhouse in front of the Marquise. In the late 1970s, it was scrapped.
