Notes - interesting informations

Two measurements for extreme breadth have been given; states that the vessel was originally classed in a London survey report no 962, and was also reported at Whitby in 1837; this time she has been viewed in the dock of H & G Barrick where she was cut in two and lenghtened by eighteen feet; because of this, both her new, and former tonnages prior to the lengthening are noted; lists the specifics of the repairs the vessel underwent in great detail; surveyor states that had her owner allowed enough time to have the vessel surveyed for restoration, she might have obtained the highest class her materials would allow, but he has waited too long and she is only to be classed AE1; vessel also put in at Whitby damaged after running ashore; owner is in London at the time of these repairs, not realising that scale of the repair, and so asks the committee to allow him to obtain a special survey for restoration as soon as the vessel's cargo of coal can be discharged in London. Former tonnages used to be 167 and 133
