Specification
SS Robin is 143 feet (44 m) long, her beam is 23 feet (7.0 m), her depth is 12.2 feet (3.7 m) and her tonnage (distinct from weight) is 366 gross register tons. She carried 400 tons of cargo (hold door) or 450 tons (plaque).
The engine is a steam triple expansion reciprocating (three-cylinder), developing 60 horsepower (45 kW). Her maximum speed was 10 knots (19 km/h).
Her official number is 98185 and the port of registry is Glasgow. On the Lloyds register she is registered as TMS SS Robin – Tri Masted Schooner. However, it appears that this classification is incorrect: SS Robin is a steam vessel and was unlikely to have been used as a sailing auxiliary. Rather, the authors of the Board of Trade registration document appear to have taken note of her three masts and assumed she was a schooner.
