A steam engine built by Plenty and son

By Neil Cox

Here are some pictures of the resolutes steam engine looks like the passing of time and her slow decay through years of neglect have finally taken there toll .
I have not been to pin mill for sometime must pay a visit to see her soon.
so I have added some pictures of her taken in 80s/90s and veiws of her at pinmill showing her hull and some of of her from deck level looking down into her interior.
I have also a picture of her aground on Breydon Water, she passed through the old suspension bridge after she broken away from her mooring near the Haven Bridge and sailed through the old bridge with out doing any damage to her self or the bridge.
The last picture of her is in Norwich with some people who I presume are the members of veteran steam ship society who brought her from original owners which were Pleasure Steamers Ltd of Great Yarmouth I always remember that the owner of the company talking to me in 1976 when the Queen of the Broads was scrapped, he wish he'd kept the resolute as her hull was in better condition.
