History
199 was delivered new to the Admiralty and was converted to an Admiral's barge in 1916. In 1930 she became the duty boat at Netley Hospital. Circa 1946, she was sold out of service and in 1955 was known to have steamed to the Thames under the name TRELEAGUE. She was then converted to a motor engine and had a period of various different owners. The hull restoration was carried out in 1975 by Tough Bros. of Teddington. She was acquired by the museum in 1979 and first re-steamed in September 1984.
