THE M.V. DIOMED - TECHNICAL DATA

Technical data on Diomed taken from a copy of her capacity plan, dated October 1956, are available for download as a pdf. This capacity plan was obtained from Dundee City Archives, and it is far too large to scan for download purposes. If anyone has a small-scale version that could be scanned, it would be mostly gratefully received. Once scanned, the original would be returned to the owner. The Diomed Data sheets are incomplete, and, if anyone has some or all of the missing data, it would be much appreciated.

Details of Diomed’s main engine together with what is believed to be a photograph of it in the manufacturer’s assembly shop are available for download as a pdf here.

Alfred Holt and Company produced a brochure to celebrate Diomed’s entry into operational service in September 1956. Ian Thomson has kindly provided a copy of this brochure, which has been digitally recompiled so that it can be downloaded as a pdf here.
