In memoriam Paddle-Tug RELIANT

The steam-tug RELIANT was on display in the Neptune Hall of National Maritime Museum in Greenwich (UK).

Built in 1907, it was decommissioned in 1969 and some years later re-errected in the NNM.
Following a re-design of the museum, the RELIANT was dismantled in 1996 and disappeared. Where to ?
The pictures below were taken in 1979. Unfortunately the slides have severely degraded
and are discoloured so that they can be reproduced here only in black-and-white.
