Launch of H.M. Dispatch Gun-Boat "Vigilant", at Messrs. Mare and Co.'s, Blackwall, 1856. Vessel...of 670 tons burden, 180 feet in length, 28 feet beam, 14 feet depth of hold...propelled by engines of 200-horse power...the Vigilant...was named by Miss Armytage, the sister of the gentleman who will command her...the attendance of visitors was very numerous, and the whole affair gave the greatest satisfaction. The expedition displayed in forwarding the iron mortar-boats reflects the greatest credit on Messrs Westwood and Baillie, the managing representatives on the works for the assignees, as also for the very able and efficient manner in which they have conducted the business of this extensive establishment, now giving employment to over 3000 persons'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
