Solvay 7, registration NY2281F, was built in 1908 at Frouard. She was originally unpowered but had a 20 hp Deutz engine fitted in 1928. All information on this page is taken from Vagus-Vagrant.fr unless otherwise indicated.
Solvay sold her in 1962 and she was renamed Felicien; it was then found as a wreck in 1985 in Seurre before being
converted into a dwelling in 1994 (transfer certificate dated August 5, 1994,
according to VNF information – Source G. Matignon) with Mr. Marcel G. as
the owner, retaining the name "Felicien" at Chemin des Canotiers in
Avignon-La Barthelasse (84).
