Solvay 29, registration NY2283F, was built in 1912 in Frouard. She was originally unpowered and then fitted with a 20 hp Aster engine which was later replaced with a 20 hp Deutz. The information on this page is obtained from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless otherwise indicated.
Solvay 29 was sold in 1969 to the Vernon company, where it dredged sand under the name "Dombasle".
