She has the dubious distinction of being the first Steam Packet vessel whose launch was delayed by a strike in the shipbuilding yard〔Connery Chappell - Island Lifeline, (1980) p18〕 - as reported by the directors in 1846. The first, but by no means the last. ''Tynwald'' was a reliable ship. A local newspaper described her as being 'as sure as a mountain goat'.〔Connery Chappell - Island Lifeline (1980) p18.〕 The fastest ship of her day,〔Ships of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (Fred Henry) p.64〕 ''Tynwald'' recorded on her sea trials.〔 Upon her completion, she was taken under the command of the Commodore of the Line, Captain William Gill and made passage to Douglas in a time of 12hrs.〔Mona's Herald 2 Sep 1846 〕 The arrival of the ''Tynwald'' was celebrated in the ''Mona's Herald'':- 〔''Mona's Herald.'' Wednesday, September 2, 1846.〕 On Thursday December 31, 1846, when on charter to the Liverpool and Belfast Company and under the command of Captain William Gill, she collided with the Admiralty Steam Vessel ''Urgent'' and damaged a paddle box. The collision occurred in the River Mersey, in the vicinity of the Formby Lightship.〔''The Manx Liberal.'' Saturday January 2nd, 1847〕 Captain Gill was exonerated by the directors: the accident occurred in dense fog. It is noted in the Company minutes, that a provision of £386 (£}} in ) was to be set aside to meet repairs to the damage suffered by the vessel. This did not prevent the directors from later claiming £2,004 (£}} in ) in compensation for damage and loss of earnings, and then, on legal advice, settling for £1,489. In December 1863, she was in collision with the Naval brig ''Wild Wave'', the settlement after a long wrangle costing the Steam Packet £1,128 (£}} in ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Tynwald (1846)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
