Seems the "Limeys" ran on Lime juice ??

As it turns out, the term "limey" originally applied to British sailors. In the 17th and 18th centuries, sailors suffered terribly from scurvy, a condition caused by a lack of vitamin C. Vitamin C comes mainly from fresh fruits and vegetables, but these foods aren't exactly easy to come by when you're at sea for months at a time.
So the Royal Navy prescribed lime juice for all sailors to help ward off scurvy -- hence the appellation "limeys." As often happens, the term eventually lost its original context and was applied to all British, whether sailors or landlubbers.

They may have only mfgrd Steam Engs ?

Reputed to be the last engine made by Elliott and Garrood in Beccles, Suffolk (famed for their engines which once powered a high proportion of the herring fishery fleet) this little treasure has recently been brought back to life and is providing feedwater for the boiler plant.

Richard Durgee, many thanks for the information on Elliot and Garood are there any books on the history of the company, I spent many happy childhood days in Beccles and my grand father J Q Wilkinson was mayor and also Station master

I live in australia now and have a 18ft wooden boat with a BLAXLAND TWIN in it, hence the interest in old baost and engines

Dave, Thanks for the photos !

The 6 cylinder 42 Hp looks great with all the brass, wondering if the magneto is a Lucas ?haven't seen one like it before.

The single seems to have a cooling condenser that we are familiar with used on many of our Detroit mfgrd engines , the original patent and original engine from 1905 !

There is a lot of info on line about ELLIOTT & GARROOD, found this summary on Google!

I would really like to have a small steam capstan in my collection !



from the Official Beccles Guide c 1972The engineering firm of ELLIOTT & GARROOD LTD. at Gosford Road, celebrated its centenary in 1968 and was pleased to
present a diving stage to the town swimming pool in recognition of its long and close association with the local community.
Elliott & Garrood Ltd. in its early days made stationary power plants followed by power-driven machinery for the fishing
industry. A new patent steam capstan was introduced in 1884 and within three years a range of five sizes were in production. In
the early 1890’s a steam-driven road vehicle was constructed with a twin cylinder engine developing about 5 h.p. Although
quite successful, increased activity on the marine side of the business took priority and no further development work was
introduced on road vehicles. By the middle of the 1890s the company had designed and developed main propulsion machinery
and in 1897 the Consolation was the first drifter to be fully equipped with F & G machinery.
After some years of producing marine engines, the company concentrated on marine deck equipment and products included
trawl, winches, seine winches and rope coilers, line haulers, donkey pumps, electrohydraulically driven capstans, marine
research instruments and special winches for research vessels.
A few years ago the firm, which was acquired by Dobson Park Industires in 1970, discontinued the manufacture of marine
deck equipment with the exception of the Beccles rope coilers, used for seine net fishing throughout the world, and now the
company’s main valve products enjoy a high reputation.

The mag on the six cylinder is a Bosch.


In order to date the mag I looked for serial numbers around it's base, but it was covered in thick black paint. As the engine is on display in the foyer of a boat hire company, scraping paint off was certainly not an option.

Regards,
Dave Carter.

As for the single cylinder, there are quite a few similarities to T & M engines, and have often wondered if it may have been "badge engineered" or built under licence.
