General notes

This is more likely the PS Jolly Miller. There is a photo elsewhere with a different caption, that was also wrong, saying it was the William Randell. After comparison with photos of the vessels mentioned, a researcher is sure it is the Jolly Miller. The unique boiler arrangement, where the top of the boiler came through the roof of the lower deck, just in front of the wheelhouse, has not found in another steamer. It is clearly visible in the photo here. [Information provided by Frank Tucker].
