Supplement
Research Note(s)
"It is unclear if #188201es Alice ever existed. Probably the inscription ' launched October 12 1882' on the back of Model in the HMM Model Room is in error or has been mis-read and should read ' launched October 12 1880', thus making a reference to #188004es Alice. In the absence of further information, this entry for #188201es Alice has been retained, but with a question mark." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 12, 2018.)
