Photo taken a year after the Cobden Bridge was built. It also appears to have been taken just as an explosion in the Cobden quarry was taking place.

A knot is 1 nautical mile per hour. You can't have "knots per hour"

Maree Lewis
An early form of “dual fuel”, as no doubt she was rigged once at sea.
