Solvay 310, registration NY2507F, was originally built as a unpowered wooden barge in 1898 at Thames. All information on this page is taken from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless stated otherwise.
Solvay 310 is a steel Spitfire, built in Thames in 1898. Solvay bought it from Jean Victor Van Regemortel, a Belgian bargeman, in November 1919, for 60,000 francs. At that time, it was named Jeune François. In September 1922, it received the registration number NY2507F. It's likely that Solvay resold it in the early 1930s, and believe it or not, she is still afloat! Guy Matignon found it in Saint-Cloud, in a houseboat, under the name Oz'amar and it still had its registration number NY2507F. This allowed Guy to find intermediate names, between Solvay 310 and Oz'amar: Novice, then Le Terrible, then Laëdi.
