The steam launch Nuneham was built for Salter Brothers of Oxford by Edwin Clarke and Company of Brimscombe in 1898. For nearly seventy years, Nuneham plied the Thames for Salter Brothers between Oxford and Kingston, being converted to diesel propulsion in 1948. Operating on the Thames tideway, she ran trips between Westminster and Hampton Court from 1971 for Jackson Brothers and Harbourside Investments until she was brought back upriver by French Brothers in 1983. She has been fitted with a refurbished Sissons triple expansion steam engine from the Oxford (2), which is of the same design as her original, and a brand new scotch boiler. Nuneham has been entirely reconstructed by expert craftsmen to an exquisite standard, and now operates private charters for the Thames Steam Packet Boat Company (part of French Brothers).
