Full Description
General Electric Company (G.E.C) motor recovered from Portsmouth Harbour. The motor was watertight and was therefore likely to have been purpose built for marine use. There was a maker's plaque on the side. The exact model was not identified but it may have been made in the 1950s. The motor was probably discarded.
