Solvay 49, registration NY2779F, was built at Choisy-le-Roi in 1925 with a Kromhout engine that was quickly replaced with a 22 hp Deutz. The information on this page is taken from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless otherwise stated.
When Solvay sold her in 1967 she was sold to a company in the Lower Seine, Sovextra SA of Vernon, and renamed Nancy.
