s.s. 'Mary Tatham' - Report of Survey for Repairs, &c. for Mary Tatham - 24th January 1880.

She was surveyed afloat in Penarth Dock by Mr. Henry T. Tyrrell. The vessel was an iron screw steamer of 1,627 Gross Register Tonnage and registered to the Port of London having been built by P. (Phillip?) Hardcastle of Sunderland launched in July 1878 and completed during April 1879.

The survey was necessary on account of damage to a plate on the port bow which had been slightly holed by an anchor fluke.
