Alpine Journal vol XX February 1900 "In Memoriam" (Alfred Wills). . . . . . Dr William Marcet (1828-1900). . . "...Both at Yvoire and at Malagny he made great use of his steam launches, of which he had several in succession. One of them very nearly brought him to a tragical end. The writer of this notice paid a visit to Yvoire in September 1874. Dr. Marcet had gone in his steam launch to Lausanne to attend a medical congress, but was expected back that night. About 8 o'clock a violent thunder storm broke out, accompanied by a perfect hurricane of wind. The hours went on, but Dr. Marcet did not arrive, and it was concluded that he had not left Lausanne or had returned to it. He had left Lausanne, however, but the lunch never returned. The short waves of the lake, too short for the launch to rise to them, had lapped over the side into an open well forward of the engine bulkhead. Dr. Marcet noticed that his bow light got nearer and nearer to the water. Realising the situation he pulled the dinghy up, got his two men into her, jumped in himself, and had just time to cut the painter and fall a few feet astern when the launcb plunged bows foremost into 600 ft of water. They were some six miles out and had a hard struggle to get safety back to Lausanne. He returned by the first steamer the next morning. His father was staying at Yvoire, and his remark on hearing the story was characteristic of the tranquil philosophy of the speaker. 'Get another, William,' he said, 'get another. You may depend upon it the same accident will not happen to the same man twice.' William did get another, but it was some time before his nerve was quite as steady as before the accident." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CAN YOU HELP improve the knowledge of the naval inheritance in finding : - a sistership? - details of the building of that Nemo ?

Name "Ben My Chree" means 'Woman of my heart' in Manx. John chose this name as his family hailed from the Isle of Man before emigrating to the US. This name has also adorned the transoms of no less than six ships of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. Hull is an enlarged version of Panatela from "Steamboats and Modern Steam Lanuches" Commissioned and fitted out by John York of "York Compound" fame with the very first of his engines. In 1990 he removed the steam machinery and refitted with an antique Hicks 10hp gas engine. The engine, boiler, patterns, and drawings were all subsequently sold. The hull was bought by current owner in 2015. The original boiler was located at a friend's house in California. After much detective work, the original was located in engine in possession of Kent Lacey Connecticut. After much negotiating, and with the kindness and understanding of Mr. Lacey, we were able to purchase original engine and reunite the original machinery once again. In process of refitting all machinery and returning her to the water.
