Sketch map of the action taken by the Nemesis in Sheepo Harbour and sketch of the boat. Nemesis was a steam gun boat and was supposed to have been powered by Boulton Watt & Co. engines. However it appears that this was not the case. James Watt & Co. did design a new boiler for a Bengal Marine vessel called Nemesis in 1869.
