Lizzzeee is a modern steamboat based on traditional lines. The plant consists of a solid fuel fired vertical fire tube boiler and a modified Stuart Turner inverted vertical compound with a piston valve on the high pressure (as designed it was a slide valve). There is a keel condenser. The vertical lever extending up from the floor is the manual boiler feed pump. The Steamboat Association produces a detailed register of FBI's type of vessel but of the four vessels in Worcester on this occasion, only two were in with either a minimal amount of data or information that appeared no longer valid.
