Rod, Thanks for replying even though they are not the boats (tenders).
Perhaps the information is at Kew.
Don't feel badly. I just read an excellent book "The Royal Yacht
Britannia" by Brian Hoey, which includes the Victoria & Albert II -- the
yacht on which my Gr-grandfather, George Knight, was a Stoker. I am
enjoying all your replies and helpfulness.

Happy New Year to you and your family,

Edna -- wintery Ottawa
