Devonport Dockyard - Merryweather Valiant fire pump
Devonport Dockyard - Merryweather Valiant fire pump
A combined vertical boiler and Scotch crank steam pump that can be moved by the wheeled trolley or carried by four men on poles. This is a very fast steaming and portable device and there are quite a few in preservation. This was in the old fire station (a listed building) in 2002.
