Comments:
Built as a tug for use on the River Tyne, Humber is shown here circa 1905 on a summer excursion from Grimsby. She was converted for pleasure work after her tug career and was iron built, 100ft long, with a breadth of 19ft and a draught of 9ft. Humber made trips from Grimsby to Spurn, where she would land passengers by local rowing boats.
Thanks go to George Robinson & John D Stevenson for information on this steamer.
