Oxford (2) Postcards
(Salter Brothers: 1921- )

Oxford (2) was built by Salter Brothers in 1921, and remains in the 2010 fleet. She became diesel powered, but her steam engine is still in service in Nuneham. Oxford (2) is 85ft long, and currently carries 199 passengers.



Salter's steamer, believed to be Oxford, at Abingdon, on Photochrom postcard 83478, posted in February 1946.

Dan Adams (Salter's Skipper) writes:-
I am sure the steamer in the picture is the Oxford because the canopy back then on the oxford only just covered the skippers position. the canopy was only lengthened in the past 20 years or so. also it had the curved seat on the back deck then as also the goring did with steps going down to it I think also that the oxford had the shortest saloon as it still has now. the other reason I think its the oxford is because I think the oxford has a slightly larger back deck. I hope this helps on your search.
