Solvay 63

Solvay 63, registration NY3008F, was built in 1930 in Villeneuve la Garenne with a 25 hp Deutz engine. All information is taken from Vagus-Vagrant unless otherwise indicated.

When captain André Lubrez transferred to the factory in 1984 Solvay sold her and she was bought by the Hornez family from St-Jean-de-Losne who renamed her Isonzo.  She was then resold in 1987 and used as a barge until she was scrapped at the end of the 1990s.

These three photos, on the Meuse River, come from Joël Kaiser's biscuit tin and were taken from the Solvay 60: they show the Solvay 63 loaded with coke and the Solvay 116 empty, both in tow:
