looks like pump/emergency/ salvage tender.

Does anybody have any details?

May have had room for some extra equipment, especially if it had no water tank, but not all that much compared to contemporary emergency tenders. The description of the pump capacity is a bit puzzling. According to Leyland sales literature from the mid 1930s there were two pump options, associated with the 115 hp engine, rated at either 500 or 700 gpm.

Ed: this photo may show it still in service in 1960s
